Simple ideas, turned into rich stories.

This short, easy-to-use guidebook tells you exactly how to turn a fleeting story idea into a solid premise strong enough to carry an entire novel.

Plotting a Novel: Developing Story Ideas will teach you:

• How to get more story ideas when your creative well seems to have run dry • How to use mind mapping to decide which story idea is the best one • How to develop the premise, the starting point for any novel

Included within these pages is a bonus chapter on how to develop a premise for a non-fiction book. Also, you'll be able to download a list of 100 writing prompts to get you started.

The two bestselling authors use the method outlined in this workbook, exactly as it's laid out in this quick read, to write their own novels.

Get rid of writer's block forever. It's time to reclaim your creativity!
