FREE PRIVATE UNSTICK SESSION
Writer's block, book-sized
Not tips. Questions about the actual book you stopped writing.
Nearly all writer's block advice is written for somebody staring at a blank page. If you have thirty thousand words and no idea how to carry on, almost none of it applies to you.
This is for a book that already exists and has stopped moving. It asks what's in it, where you stopped and what was coming next, then gives you one section you can write today.
Once you have your link: paste or upload 100 to 5,000 words from where the book stalled.

Find one next move
Answer focused questions about your pages; the tool will not write the chapter for you.
Clearly labelled example
Example unstick outcome
Excerpt from a real Writer's Block run on the same synthetic extract. The tool did not write prose.
- What is stopping it: how Mara gets from the photograph to facing Ben without making him a villain
- Chosen route: she keeps the secret for one more night
- First move: write the walk from the waiting room to the car, ending with her quiet lie that the room was empty
By the end you'll have:
- the real reason you stopped, named
- why pushing harder hasn't worked, and probably won't
- one section you can genuinely write today
- what to do about the part you've been going around
- a way back in that doesn't require rereading the whole thing
A free first step. A supercharged whole-book workspace.
This free session is a lite taster of Your Book Pro: it helps you tackle one sticking point from the extract you share. In the full platform you can develop and revise the book with its manuscript and chapter context in view.
About Your Book Pro
Your Book Pro is a book-writing platform built in Britain. Start with an idea, notes, half a draft, a podcast, or a finished manuscript, and use our purpose-built AI tools for planning, feedback, editing, proofreading, cover designs, and to create print-ready files. Writing is totally free: you can type, upload or speak your book as much as you like, and use only the editing tools you need with Plus, or go unlimited with Pro.
Produce world-class drafts at the fraction of the cost of hiring a human editorial team.
Every account starts with 1,000 welcome credits, and a plain export of your own words is free.
Not another list of tips
You have already read the articles. Write every day. Lower your standards. Move your desk. If general advice worked, you wouldn't still be looking.
This asks about your book instead - what's in it, where you stopped, what you were about to have to write. The answer that comes out is specific to you, which is the only kind that moves anything.
And it doesn't write the section for you. If it did you'd have a book you didn't write, which is the same as not having one.
Your writing and AI
Your Book Pro does not save the original extract you paste; AI providers process the text needed for the session. We do not publish your writing or use it in our marketing. We say no to AI training whenever the provider gives us that option. AI providers process the material needed to deliver the tool. Read our [Privacy Notice](/privacy) for details.
Why I built this
I'm Tom Collins. I built Your Book Pro after watching too many people carry a book around for thirty years without ever starting it.
Not one of them was short of material. What they were short of was somebody sitting beside them asking the right question at the right moment - which is what a good editor does, and what almost nobody can afford at the beginning.
So I built the beginning. It's free, because the beginning is where people give up.
Questions
- Do I need to send my manuscript?
- Yes. Paste or upload 100 to 5,000 words from where the book stalled. Supported document formats are shown beside the upload control.
- I stopped two years ago.
- That's the most common answer and it changes nothing about how this works. Time away isn't the problem. Not knowing what stopped you is.
- What if the honest answer is that the book isn't good?
- Occasionally it is, and that's worth finding out after twenty minutes rather than another year. Far more often the book is fine and the chapter you're standing in front of is the problem.
- Will it write the difficult bit for me?
- No. It asks questions until you can see what the difficult bit actually is. What you do about it is yours.
