Plot Your Way to Publication by Brenda Hill
 A step-by-step method for building a successful storyline.

A compact writing course, this ebook takes you from basic story idea to a solid storyline. Designed for the busy lifestyle, it's simple enough to read in one sitting, yet powerful enough to demonstrate the mysteries of story structure.

Contrary to myth, a good skeleton does not inhibit a writer's imagination; instead, an accepted structure provides the exciting changes that lead to story satisfaction.

Which is what your reader expects.

Today's readers are more sophisticated than ever before, and they instinctively know and expect certain things to happen in your story. If these incidents do not occur, the reader is often left dissatisfied and disappointed. Draggy, they may think. Dull. They may have purchased your first novel, but may hesitate to buy your next.

Don't let that happen!

After many requests, Brenda Hill has condensed years of teaching fiction into simple one-page chart templates. Not only does she explain structure, she gives examples of critical scenes and turning points and show you exactly where they should be placed for the best dramatic effect. Her novels, Beyond the Quiet and Ten Times Guilty, are used throughout the book as visual illustrations of the techniques.                         

No more dead-end storylines
No more sagging middles
No more expensive and time-consuming classes
No more stalling because you don't know 'what's next!'
No more costly, complicated software that promise but FAIL to teach you to PLOT
No more watching your dream slip away

Simple one-page chart templates show you what scenes are crucial to a modern novel and where they should be placed
