Purchase options and add-ons

This fourth (and highly requested!) installment of Series Bibles for Writers contains everything you need to map out the plot to your novel or screenplay. Plan your story through the lens of 10 different plotting methods and see it in real time in the worksheets, timelines, calendars, and scene maps provided. Think of this as your plot journal, to brainstorm and store all of your plotting information, and to refer back to as you're writing to keep every plot thread, goal, conflict, timeline, scene, and climax accounted for.

Contents include:

  • Worksheets for 10 different well-loved plotting methods.
  • Blank timeline charts for keeping track of character timelines & plot threads.
  • Calendar sheets to plot your story in real timeline (5 yearly, 15 monthly, and 20 weekly sheets)
  • 55 scene worksheets, to flesh out killer scenes and make sure they serve a purpose to your arc.
  • And a custom contents page to easily find your info when you need it.

(All sections and methods are padded with a scratch note buffer page, so if you decide to rip out any pages that are unnecessary to your story, you won't be ripping out vital information on the back side as well.)

This workbook is prompted enough to guide your plot into a satisfying arc, yet free-form enough to handle whatever direction your story needs to go. Use this before you write to build direction. Use this during your writing to keep on track, and to craft scenes ahead of time to cut out dreaded writer's block. And when you're finished, use this workbook during the editing process to audit your plot & scenes, so the final product is a story you can be incredibly proud of.

For more Series Bibles for Writers, look for "The Only Character Workbook You'll Ever Need," "The Only World Building Workbook You'll Ever Need," and "The Only Fantasy Workbook You'll Ever Need."

Though writing novels is her go-to creative outlet, life stays busy with motherhood to her three minions, various music endeavors, church service, and home renovating. She lives in her dear home state of Arizona with her incredible husband and three kids, and only sometimes wishes they were back in their college home of Hawai'i--the place that inspired her first series.

Her dream job, (besides writing novels from a hammock in the forest) would be movie score composing. She's a total fan girl for Hans Zimmer and Martin Phipps.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best investment you can make as an author

I ordered this reluctantly. I felt like I already had an idea of the plot for my 2nd novel and that it wouldn't be helpful, but since I liked the other books in the series, I figured I'd just check it out. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I flipped through it. I started using it and realized so much more about my plot that I hadn't thought of. I immediately ordered 3 more copies to start plotting out my 3rd novel and the following series. Even if you think you don't need plotting assistance, order this book - you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great template workbook.
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023

I found the workbook to be very complete in terms of options for templates in the realm of writing a novel. If you were going to nanowrimo this November order this now!!!!
Not all of us are ‘word only’ writers, many of us are visual. This workbook gives plenty of template examples of the different outlining systems as well as novel and character development worksheets. It helps you keepi track of plot, character development, mind map options as well as storyboard layouts.
I intend on using this workbook for my next novel project. They’re genetic enough to custom your own layout. Glad I bought this book. Taking it to my writing group…

3.0 out of 5 stars I liked the IDEA, but ...
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023

All my previous creative writing courses taught the 9-point plot outline for fiction writing. This workbook is outlined for the 7-point format. This complicates things for me. UN-true to its title, there is very little education or "help" to plotting. Just a full page, slanted line and some zig-zag line pages. I assume for plotting? There are 45-pages of various calendars (?). I have a calendar on my wall. I'm good.
I did like the character pages, but the more one builds a character, the faster the form becomes confining and inadequate. People are complicated .. even fake ones.
I won't put a mark in this book, but may use a few ideas. A worthy effort for folks that learned the 7-point plotting method, but didn't help me much.

I'm wanting to try my hand at fiction writing again (haven't done it since high school). I found another book in the series this one's in, and I was so impressed by it, I decided to pick this one up, as well. Going to be using it for NaNoWriMo 2023, and pretty much ALL projects going forward.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly good/useful content.
Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2023

The overall content is good. It helped me put thoughts together in a more coherent order to get me out of a writing block. However, there are more worksheets (and useless calendar pages) than actual guide/info pages. It's far from being "The Only Plotting Workbook You'll Ever Need".
And the amount of spelling errors is astounding...

1.0 out of 5 stars Just blank forms!
Reviewed in Germany on May 15, 2024

As with the other book in the series character workbook, which I unfortunatly bought as well is basicly blank forms to fill out.
There is hardly any information about making plots for books the filled with templates.
That there would be some Templates, yes,
But the whole book and hardly any information. So disappointed.
