TAP035, From Idea to Outline: How to Outline a Novel (Part 2 of 3)

The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

Send us a text

Welcome to the second instalment of my three-part mini-series on how I outline a novel. For those of you who are unaware, I discuss how I go from fleshing out a story idea to a basic outline in the first episode. In this show, I share the steps in my outlining process that help me create a structurally sound story with scenes that actively move the story forward. If you haven't listened to episode TAP034, I highly recommend you pause here and go back and listen to that. The steps in this show take my outlining process and push it to the limits of being a zero draft.
So stay tuned for all of this and much more.
