Learn How To Create A Professional Plot Outline

Whether you're new to writing or you've been working at it for years, you've faced the hurdles of plotting. You weren't sure what happened next in your story, or how to keep the action interesting, or where your story went wrong, or why.

We've all been there. I just don't like spending time there.

So I spent years perfecting my system for getting my plot in order without driving myself crazy.

It would be easy, since you're here, to assume that you know me. If you don't, my name is Holly Lisle and I'm a full-time pro novelist. I've published more than 30 novels with imprints of Time-Warner, NAL, Harpercollins, Baen, Tor, and Scholastic over the last seventeen years. I've been paying forward by helping writers work toward realizing their own writing dreams for about as long.

I love writing, I love helping other writers improve their work and pursue their writing goals. This is one of the ways I do that.

Without all the frenetic, overblown Internet hype, let me tell you about the free mini-course I've put together.

  • One of my best methods for starting a plot from thin air, demonstrated for you without fluff or technical jargon

  • The three questions you must ask to plot your story's critical opening

  • The three answers you must know to figure out how your story ends, even before you've written the first word

I hate spam, and I won't spam you. I'll never sell or share your e-mail address. I won't flood you with emails. I'll make sure that what I send you is worth your while, and will help you with your writing. I've made it a point to treat visitors to my site the way I want to be treated.

Sign up, knowing that you can easily unsubscribe at any time. The unsubscribe link is included in every e-mail.

I'm looking forward to the next few months, and I hope you are, too.
