This is a VERY detailed outline for plots, and as it's based on knowledge from very good books, it's a recipe for writing a good novel. Most of the books used as examples are no favorites of mine (sci-fi and fantasy) but the system works for all kinds. If every book followed this system strictly, it would of course be boring, but with a little individuality it's a very good basis.
The book is made like a textbook, including exercises, and I'm sure it will be very helpful.

Easy to follow, and an excellent beginner guide.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This book is very helpful for beginners as it breaks down the writing process into good chapters and examples.
The author also provides examples of famous and beloved books to explain steps in planning and writing scenes or creating characters.
Overall I liked this book as a compendium to get quick help if needed, but I also discovered that I personally rather write freestyle.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC!
