Plotstormers Lite

Get your novel plotted, outlined and ready to go! The same Plotstormers - but streamlined!
A streamlined four week course
Learn to build a comprehensive outline of your story
Join the incredible Writers' HQ community

Join Plotstormers Lite and turn your idea into a big chonky outline ready for drafting in just four weeks. It’s the same famous, tried-and-tested Plotstormers method, but streamlined and simplified for a smoother glide path into your novel.

Plotstormers Light 2025 is designed to get you ready and set up to write your novel, starting with the idea and getting you to The End.

Led by Sarah WHQ, this course is for anyone with a novel idea, a zero draft, a stalled first draft, or any draft that needs a serious structural makeover.

Plot your novel from beginning to end in four weeks with tailored guidance from a team of writing experts who’ll support you every step of the way.

Why now? Because it’s time. Really it is. Stop fucking about and get that novel written. Join us!
