Plotting Your Novel
8-Week Course
Assemble Your Story's Elements
Struggling to turn your ideas into a cohesive book? Unsure how to fit all the different elements together?
In this course with award-winning author A.R. Levett, you will establish and organise the 26 different elements needed to plot an engaging story. You will discover when and where to establish each component, how to play them out in the story, and how to tie them up by the story’s end. The result will be the development of a comprehensive story plan from which you can write your novel.
"It has given me an excellent framework to use in the last few chapters of my story."
