What Writers Say About How To Plot Your Novel: From Idea To First Draft:
Rock-solid support for a writer through a step-by-step process in the huge and sometimes overwhelming project of drafting a novel plot.
Cathy Robinson
I often thought about writing a novel but had no idea how to start or what to do in the middle of the story. This clear, easy-to-follow course showed me the way.
Steven M. Levy
If you want to actually finish your novel, instead of constantly re-hashing the first chapter, it is a blueprint for success.
Gillian DiCarlo Gott
Your Instructor’s Story
My first published novel is actually the fifth one I wrote. That’s because when I started out I struggled with how to tell a good story despite having earned a degree in Writing/English. In other words, with plot. And it showed. I made it my mission to learn everything I could about plot from books, courses, and taking apart the novels I loved.
All of which led to writing two successful plot-based series and a passion for sharing what I learned in the hopes of helping other writers avoid my trial and error (and error and error) approach.
