About

Do you want to write a stronger story? Would you like to worry less about plot holes and weak characters? Some writers shy away from outlining, believing it their worst nightmare, and state that time is better spent writing a novel than planning it. Then there are those who've tried plotting, perhaps more than a few times, only to get lost in the weeds and overwhelmed by frustration. Stories that work all follow a certain structure; you just need to learn how to apply it. Plot Development is a step-by-step guide which will teach you:
How to decide on the number of characters to include in your novel
How to make each character come alive with their own wants and needs
How to choose between different types of outlines
How to develop engaging events and where to place them within your story
How to enhance your plot with potent subplots
How to build chapters, designed to deliver an immersing experience for the reader
How to review and edit your outline to make it even better
How to enrich your opening and closing chapters
Included are seven bonus chapters, covering important topics like: theme, beta readers, short story plotting, and much more.

Leverage the power of story structure and take your writing to the next level.
