The ultimate guide to quickly & easily outlining your novel

Are you a plotter or a pantser? Either way, this novel outline guide can help you strengthen your novels!

A lot of writers forgo outlining when they start writing their books. There are tons of reasons why, but one of the most common is that outlining your novel feels difficult and confusing.

And I get it—There’s SO MUCH information out there on outlining that you’re overwhelmed by it all. Do this method, no do that method. And each one is more complicated than the last. How do you write a freaking outline that works and doesn’t take an entire NaNoWriMo to get on paper?

Outlining doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, after years and years of experiments, I’ve hit on a simple method to outline your novel in an afternoon or less. The best part is it still allows for tons of creative choices as you write.

If you have tried other outlining methods and they didn’t work for you, then give this a shot. If you’ve tried the seat of the pants (“pantsing”) method but always end up with half-finished books or a draft that needs tons of revision, then give this a shot. It’s flexible, customizable, and most importantly: It works.

Here’s the ultimate novel outline guide.
