Meet Dabble—the place to craft your story
Dabble was created to give writers what other tools couldn’t—a simple, focused space to bring stories to life. By combining intuitive features with a distraction-free interface, Dabble helps writers organize ideas, develop plots, and stay inspired from start to finish.
Ernest Hemingway once said, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Writing is hard enough without wrestling with clunky tools or digging through scattered notes. Whether you’re drafting your first novel or your next bestseller, Dabble clears the clutter, so you can focus on what really matters—telling your story.

Hey, I’m Jacob Wright, the founder of Dabble.
Dabble began over ten years ago when I first caught the writing bug. I had just read Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell, where he debunked the idea that writing is something you’re born with. Instead, he said, it’s a skill you can learn, and that struck a chord.
I’d been reading book after book, searching for the kind of stories I wanted, and coming up empty. But I remembered what Toni Morrison once said—“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” So, I decided to start writing the kind of stories I had always hoped to discover.
As I started writing, I realized that while I was ready to craft my story, the tools out there weren’t made for novelists. They felt clunky, overcomplicated, or just didn’t fit the creative process. The kind of platform I wanted to use didn’t exist, and I had to create it myself. That’s when Dabble was born—a tool designed to make writing feel natural, intuitive, and inspiring.
At Dabble, we believe you should be able to focus on writing instead of fighting with your tools.
We’ll help you:
- Organize your ideas and plot with ease
- Write anywhere, on any device
- Stay motivated and track your progress
And as your writing evolves, so does Dabble. We’re constantly building and refining features so the tools you’re looking for are always at your fingertips.
If this feels right, your next chapter begins now.
