How To Outline Your Novel

​Beginning and Intermediate   
August 19, 2023-1 Session (Saturday)
10:30 am – 12:30 pm
Instructor: Mickey Dubrow
Class Fee: $85.00 non-members
                  $76.50 BRMAA members

Are you a pantser or a plotter? A "pantser" is a writer who prefers to write without previous planning. They write by the seat of their pants and discover the story as they write. A "plotter" creates an outline beforehand to act as a road map for their novel. No matter which kind of writer you are, making an outline can help you pull up your pants and point the way forward. An outline makes it easier to keep track of chapters, change focus if necessary, and establish a theme. In this workshop, students will learn about four methods to outline a novel and will practice each one to discover which method suits them best. Those four methods are Mind Map, Step Outline, Skeleton, and Beat Sheet. Instructor will provide index cards, pens, note pads, and print outs. Come and discover what kind of novelist you are or want to be.
