About this title

Synopsis

Is Your Novel Losing the Plot?

Sometimes we can be too close to a story to see clearly. If you find that you begin to change the plot midway, or struggle to think of one at all, this book deals specifically with keeping you on track to create compelling plot outlines your readers will love.


Breaks the Cage Mindset

Outlining is an invaluable tool for a writer. It helps the author to not feel confined by working to a plot summary and instead, demonstrates how, by following best practices, such a framework can liberate the writer to new levels of creativity.

This concise guide also reveals the way to use an outline for those writers who prefer the story to be revealed to them. Both methods help to drive the narrative and create twists and surprises that will captivate your audience.

Marsh, establishes a blueprint for both fiction & non-fiction novels and gives useful examples, while considering the strengths and weaknesses of each method.

Non-Fiction Outline – four methods to arrange facts & research in a way that will not leave any gaps in the reader’s understanding.

Best Practices – tips to get to know your characters and story more deeply so that your reader will be fully-absorbed in the novel. Marsh describes ways of bringing in flexibility and simplicity to your outline.


Helps Organize Ideas

Outlining is an essential read for any author, new or established, to form a good foundation of winning principles. It takes less than a day to read but provides a lifetime of benefit.

Following completion, the author will know how to arrange ideas around 5 Key Parts of a Plot, the ways to observe proper sequence, and make an outline work for them, not against them.
