Plot Your Novel Like a Pro Workshop with Jo Gatford

Learn flexible, effective novel planning techniques to help you turn a seed of an idea into a fully-fledged outline, avoid common plotting pitfalls, and create a roadmap for your story.

So you want to write a novel, but how do you turn that bare lightbulb of an idea into an actual PLOT?

Our approach to plotting involves creating a solid framework for your story, while allowing for flexibility and discovery along the way. It’s the best of both worlds, and it’s a quick, fun, and adaptable method of planning your story. Even better, you can tailor it to suit your unique writing style!

By the end of the workshop you’ll have the tools you need to create a perfectly tailored outline for your story, a solid guide to see you through the first draft, and the flexibility to adapt to change along the way!
