We here at Bookstr understand how hard it can sometimes be to find gifts for authors. To help remedy this, we’ve compiled a list of our four favorite options for authors, ranging from planning tools to fun card games. Read on to discover these amazing gifts!
Scrivener Subscription
Scrivener is an amazing writing and planning platform that acts as a digital binder for all of your writing documents. It gives authors complete control over how their display looks, giving them the freedom to organize and write however they want. As it was designed specifically for authors, it provides a flexibility that typical word processors cannot. A Scrivener subscription is perfect for any writer working on their next great novel!
Novel Writing Planner
If the writer in your life is more of a pen-and-paper kind of person, this novel writing planner is a great gift to help them get all their thoughts in order. There’s three hundred pages of amazing workbook pages, and they range anywhere from character development to plot planning. The workbook can be purchased as a physical copy and/or a digital book, and we know any writer would love to get their hands on it!
Craft Books
Sometimes, you just have to hear from the greats. Writing craft books make perfect gifts for writers as they can provide a fresh new outlook on the writing process from somebody who knows what they’re talking about. We highly recommend On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King, The Making of a Story: A Norton Guide to Creative Writing by Alice LaPlante, and Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott. All of these books can teach anybody who wishes to dabble amazing things about the art of writing and the intense labor of love that goes into it.
Papercuts Card Game
Papercuts is where Cards Against Humanity meets classic literature. Combining witty humor with references to our favorite books and authors, Papercuts is perfect for writers and card game lovers alike and is sure to get a laugh out of anybody. This is the perfect game to break out after a long day of working on your writing projects!
We hope you’ve enjoyed our short roundup of the perfect gifts for writers! All of these can truly help out your writing friends and family, whether that be through helping them organize their work or relax after a long day!
