Stop guessing your pacing. Start analyzing your story.

Writing a long document is hard. Keeping track of chapter lengths is even harder. While most document editors gives you a total word count, it doesn't tell you if Chapter 3 is dragging on too long or if Chapter 10 is too short.

Chapter Word Count solves this instantly.

With one click, this add-on scans your document and creates a beautiful, real-time dashboard in your sidebar. It breaks down your word count by section (Heading 1, 2, 3, etc.), helping you visualize the structure and pacing of your work directly inside Google Docs™.
