Summary

Your ‘Why’ for Writing, Will Also Be Their ‘Why’ for Reading

Are you struggling to take your story to the next level? Would you like to know the best ways to create intrigue and have your readers rave about your book? Plotting is a step-by-step guide that takes you through the process of developing compelling plots from beginning to end.

With tips and tricks taken straight from professional writers, the novelist will learn how to use plotlines for maximum effect, while retaining creative freedom.


Making Conflict Real

Plotting helps the author weave suspense through improved conflict-writing, centered around a developing plot. Characters are challenged, affected and emerge changed in ways that infuse emotions in your readers, so that they cannot help but be personally invested in the welfare of your protagonist.


8 Steps to Conflict Resolution

This book acts as a go-to framework for all levels of writers and introduces an 8-Step Process to adding substance to your story through plotting; these include:


  • Get Inspired

  • Getting Direction

  • Turn Your Ideas into a Story

  • Create Your Story Arc

  • Start with the End

From understanding the basic principles of a plotline, to placing your characters into situations that will help you get inside their head more, Marsh demonstrates the ways to make a plot event a more profound experience for the reader, to activate emotions and keep them engaged until the end of the book.
