Description

Are you a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants writer? Hungry for a book that shows you how to write and revise your novel without an outline?

Discover the secret sauce to help those of us seat-flyers get at least some grounding in what we do, and to find and use a system in the chaos that is pantsing.


This book is for you if you:

• Are still on chapter one - You should read this book if you have started a novel at least 68 times (the same novel) and only written the first chapter

• Jump around - You should read this book if you write chapter 1. And then chapter 5. And then chapter 2. etc.

• Write to Discover - You should read this book if you need to write to discover your story. (“I just watch my characters and write down what they do.”)

• Get Lost in the Weeds - You should read this book if you get lost in the weeds of writing and revision because portions of your novel are in different phases of the writing process.

• Feel Writing is Complicated - You should read this book if you feel frustrated because “Dang it; writing’s hard enough. Why do I always have to complicate it?”

• Wear Pants - You should read this book if you think the cover of this book is cool, or wear pants. Because, hey, the cover is cool. So are you, and so is this book. (Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? Pshaw.)

Author and Writing Coach Annalisa Parent approaches the topic with a mix of humor and depth that will spark your writing.

Advance Praise

Here’s what I love about Annalisa. Yes, she is hilarious; and yes, her book is brimming over with invaluable practical writerly wisdom. (An example among a thousand: when she talks about “the monsters under your bed.” Oh, you think there aren’t any?) But what I love is that her sheer love of great writing—in other words, her love of life—pours out of every paragraph. Read her book. It will infuse joy into your days and make you a better writer.

There are many excellent books out there that offer lessons on the craft of writing. This one gives the writer a clever and unusual twist on this topic. Writers in all genres should find many helpful hints and techniques inside. The style is relaxed and engaging, making STORYTELLING FOR PANSTERS an easy read.

This book is well written, clear and hilarious. Annalisa has a very clear and concise, yet funny way of explaining the science of writing as a pantser. Any writer who has a hard time planning before they write should read this book.
