How Is Book Architecture Different than Blueprint Your Bestseller?

  • You can use the information before you begin writing or after you have written a whole draft.
  • It introduces three tools: the arc, the grid, and the target that can be applied to fiction, film and TV, or creative nonfiction.
  • It has a lot more pretty pictures!
  • It offers detailed, concrete examples that reveal how the Book Architecture Method works with everything from literary classics to blockbuster films, including The Social Network, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Corduroy, and Catch-22.
