PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
The Writer’s Outline is a framework with 120 pages of guided resources for writers of all kinds and any level. The methodical, chronological plotter can start on the first page and follow it in order to develop, write, and revise their story, while the chaotic pantser can flip to any page that fits their mood and work on their book out of order.

Whatever your writing style, The Writer’s Outline is designed to adapt to you. See the complete workbook contents list for its 100+ pages of resources. The nine sections included are:

— Section 1: About the Author & Project Introductory Pages
— Section 2: Making Progress (Session Logs, Trackers, Records)
— Section 3: Story Development (Character & Setting Development, Brainstorming)
— Section 4: Story Elements (Character Profiles, Map Drafting, Story Beat Planning Pages)
— Section 5: Drafting (Monthly/Weekly/Daily Writing Logs, Writing Group/Critique Partner Info)
— Section 6: Revisions (Self-Editing Guide, Editor Directory, Alpha & Beta Reader Info)
— Section 7: Queries & Pitching (Query Letter Writing Guide, Agent List, Pitch Training Info)
— Section 8: Self-Publishing Prep (Manuscript Formatting, Book Design, Release Calendar)
— Section 9: Extra Notes (Contacts Sheet, Research Note Pages, Conference Note Pages)

Each section was mindfully developed to strengthen your writing skills and educate you about the process of taking a book from idea to draft to published novel.
