Plot is one of the three key components of any narrative, and yet many writers fail to understand exactly what it is, or how to create one. A strong, compelling plot keeps your readers turning the pages long after lights should have gone out. It makes them laugh and cry and gasp and shiver. Yet building a plot is not nearly as difficult as most people fear. All it takes is a little planning.
There are many different ways to plan a novel, and many different ways to build a plot. This two-part masterclass on Plotting and Planning teaches you the techniques you need to make sure you don’t lose the plot.
“This course has motivated me to start working on my novel. I was constantly thinking of ways
I could use the tools I learnt and apply them to my own work.”
– Kimberly Williams, Plotting and Planning graduate
“This topic is such an important one
so this course is something I think every writer needs!”
– Catherine Pelosi, Plotting and Planning graduate
