THE PERFECT BOOK NEEDS THE PERFECT PLAN: HOW TO OUTLINE A BOOK-LENGTH PROJECT
A perfect book requires a perfect plan. A perfect story needs a perfect outline. Join Amber Cowie for a ninety-minute workshop on how to construct an outline for a work of fiction or memoir. We’ll cover the three-act structure, creating momentum and tension, and constructing a powerful conclusion. All participants will leave with a customized template for developing both an outline and a tempting synopsis for pitching and promotion.
