How To Plot Your Novel

From Idea To First Draft

Is This Course For You?

Do you long to write a novel but feel unsure how or where to start?

Are you writing a first draft or outline and feeling stuck or frustrated?

Do you have a finished draft but fear your plot isn’t exciting?

Does scene-by-scene plotting feel too constricting but winging it isn’t working?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, this course is for you.

It takes you from idea to first draft using clear, easy-to-follow steps. This approach allows you the freedom to discover your story as you write or to plan your story in detail before you put hands to keyboard or pen to page.

The course includes clear examples from popular and enduring novels and films such as Star Wars: A New Hope and Pride and Prejudice.

You’ll learn how to:

• generate and choose ideas with enough conflict to thrill you and your future readers
• build characters that make your story exciting and engaging
• understand and create key plot points and turns to keep readers turning pages and
• enjoy quickly writing your first draft without hitting blocks or feeling stuck

Perhaps most important, How To Plot Your Novel walks you through what should happen in the middle of the novel–-that spot that many writers approach with dread.

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.

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.
