About

Is Your Book 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.









Tricks Any Writer Can Learn



Arranged simply and effectively, this guide is divided into four concise and easy-to-read sections that will bring about fast results. These are:



The Basics of Making an Outline - considers the flow of ideas, how to present characters effectively against a developing storyline, and the way to refine major schemes & subplots that drive the story forward.



Fiction Outline - practical methods that inspire ideas in different ways, to help the sequencing of events unfold in a story & keep sight of the key points.



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.
