Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success . . .

It's the title of K.M. Weiland's new book, and I'm really looking forward to exploring its pages! Buy her book this week and you could win some fab prizes. You'll also love her web site: WORDplay, Helping Writers Become Authors.

Here is the description: Writers often look upon outlines with fear and trembling. But when properly understood and correctly wielded, the outline is one of the most powerful weapons in a writer’s arsenal. Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success will help you choose the right type of outline for you, guide you in brainstorming plot ideas, aid you in discovering your characters, show you how to structure your scenes, explain how to format your finished outline, instruct you in how to use your outline when writing the first draft, reveal the benefits of outlining, and dispel the misconceptions.

K.M. Weiland is the author of the historical western A Man Called Outlaw and the medieval epic Behold the Dawn.  I knew her as a young homeschooler years ago, and her writing talent has blossomed to unusual heights. Visit her website: kmweiland.com.
