About this audiobook

What makes a great story? Interesting people in interesting places doing interesting things? But what makes something interesting? And are all ideas good ideas? Do they fit in your story?

In this guide, you'll learn where to start when planning your book, how to create dynamic characters and settings, and how to determine what will really happen, when it will happen, where it will happen, and how you will achieve a satisfying ending.


"Plot. The very word makes some writers uncomfortable." -- Maude

But What if I'm a Discovery Writer?
