Acclaim for Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success:

“Ms. Weiland presents a wonderful roadmap for writing while still encouraging you to take those sidetrips that will make your story better. I feel like I can walk the ‘high wire’ of my imagination because I have the safety net of my outline below it all.”—D. Hargan

Daryl Q ,

An entertaining guide

The author uses such great stories and examples that you forget that you are reading a “self help” book for writing. The chapter end notes are very useful for future reference and as a pragmatic guide. Highly recommend

Jadeunc ,

Not helpful

The authors bring up a lot of interesting ideas to consider, but they don’t provide useful examples of the the ideas in context. Nothing is discussed in-depth. The outlining section (which is only a couple of pages!) is not specific enough to be useful and does not provide a strong structure for the important elements in a novel. Overall, the book is a great brain dump, but not well-developed at all.
