I’ve had an idea for a fiction novel bouncing around in my head for years. The problem is, I just can’t seem to get it down on paper in a way that flows. I’ve heard there are professionals who can help with this, but I’m unsure where to start.

Has anyone here worked with someone to help with writing a fiction novel? Did it make the process easier, and were you happy with the result? I’m open to suggestions on tools, services, or even personal experiences to help me finally get started.
