Professional Plot Outline Mini-Course: Introduction to Plotting

Why would a writer who's been a full-time pro since 1992, has sold more than 30 novels to top New York publishers, and who has well over a million books in print in the US and in multiple translations around the world offer a writing course for 99¢?

It has to be a gimmick, right?

Of course it's a gimmick.But it's a cool one.

My name is Holly Lisle, and I've been making a living as a novelist for a long time. I've won and been nominated for awards, my readers have kept a roof over my family's head for a whole lot of years now (thanks, folks)---and if you click the link on my name above, you'll see that in general, readers are enthusiastic about my work.

HOWEVER...

Knowing how to write does not mean a writer can TEACH people how to write. Lots of writers can't teach. They have no clue how they do what they do.

So the only way I can prove that I can teach you to write is to DO IT.

So here's my 99¢ gimmick.

I'll teach you how to write one tiny but very difficult part of your story or novel.

Your Plot Outline.

This is the reef upon which about half of all NaNoWriMo novels a year die, upon which a billion 30-page novel starts have crashed when reaching page 31...

...and lack of a workable plot structure is the most common reason so many novelists wander lost in the middle of their novels for a year. Or five years. Or twenty.

I'm betting that I can make outlining your story easy for you, that I can make it fun---and that you will be so thrilled with your success you'll buy some of my other courses (which are even better):

• CREATE A CHARATER Clinic--2nd Edition (coming Aug. 15, 2012
• CREATE A PLOT Clinic
• CREATE A CULTURE Clinic
• CREATE A LANGUAGE Clinic
• How to Write Page-Turning Scenes
• And my BIG courses---
  How to Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers,
  and (coming soon)
  How to Revise Your Novel: Get the Book You WANT from the Wreck You WROTE.

Because I can do. And I can teach. And in this course, I'll prove that by teaching you a skill you'll be able to use for the rest of your writing career. For 99¢.

Cheerfully,

Holly Lisle
