So you want to plan a novel. Are you more of a pantser? Are you allergic to outlines? Don’t know where to start? Just need a little help? Have no fear! Every novel has a few basic components.

First, we’ll look at plot beats, the basic building blocks of a story, and think about ways to plan them in advance to help guide your writing process. Then we’ll take a deep dive into character, because knowing your characters before you write will make writing about them much easier.

Students can take away a Novel Planning Kit handout to help guide the writing process and write their best books!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The opening video is very helpful, and I am using the materials provided as I plot my next manuscript. I write domestic/psychological suspense, so I appreciated that there were examples given outside of the romance genre.
