Plan Your Novel in as Little as One Day

NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month is an annual event for writers around the world. It offers participants an opportunity to write a 50,000-word novel with the support of others. It may be just the motivation you need to get writing.

The key to NaNoWriMo is planning–not outlining–your book before you even write a single word.

• Have you been dreaming of writing a novel for years and didn’t know how to tackle the daunting task? This book is for you.
• Have you attempted NaNo and found your story and inspiration flagging long before you hit 50,000 words? This book is for you.
• Are you an experienced writer or published author who wants a comprehensive planning tool to enable you to plot, write and revise more quickly? This book is for you.

This step-by-step method will enable you to build the foundation for a complex novel, with engaging characters and an emotional journey that will keep your readers turning pages. Accompanying worksheets and full instructions make the process almost foolproof.

Author EM Lynley has used this technique for the last five novels or novellas–all sold to publishers–and shares her proven method with you.
