Martha Alderson has assisted dozens of writers in unleashing their muse and in this helpful guide she shows how to create plot lines, thematic significance and subplots that all work in harmony.

“Anyone who wants to write or is in the process of writing a novel, short story, memoir, or screenplay faces the daunting task of creating several plots and multiple scenes. This book will guide you through the process of writing the story inside of you,” writes Alderson.

The key parts of this book include “The Outlining of the Plot”, “Create the Characters and Setting” and “The Journey” that takes the reader from the opening chapters to the climax and denouement of the story.

Throughout the text the author sprinkles “Plot Whisper” sidebars that offer special tips on how to make that idea for a story a reality. If you are looking for a practical guide to help you start getting your creative ideas down on paper this is a book you’ll wish to read.
