The 16 steps outlined in this best-selling book will have you thinking about writing in an entirely new way. Rather than attempting to dive straight into writing, haphazardly trying to connect plot, characterization and other narrative elements as you go, you’ll realize that successful novel writing is actually a linear, calculated process anyone can follow.

A Bible For New and Veteran Writers

This book has become a bible to new and veteran writers worldwide to help them write their novel. It’s their guidebook to the novel writing process. It’s totally updated for the ebook version. Now you can get this classic book free for a limited time with this special offer.

Throughout this hands-on guide are ready-to-use templates, easy-to-follow charts and end-of-chapter recaps that reinforce important points and help you stay focused. This plan works because it shows you how to map out your entire novel—characters, subplots, conflicts, and all—before you write one chapter.

Of course, writing your novel is only the beginning. This book includes detailed instructions for creating a powerful synopsis, targeting the right agents and editors, and getting your work the full attention it deserves.  I even put together a real sample synopsis for you that actually led to a published novel.
