A fabulous resource

For anyone attempting to write a first novel, this book is gold. KM Weiland sets out a strong case for the value of outlining, and then pieces together each element that's essential to crafting a well-thought out and compelling outline. I paused the audio many times to replay and take notes. I also enjoyed the mini interviews with different authors about whether and how they use outlining. It was fascinating to hear the variety of opinions and approaches. KM Weiland has a beautiful communication style and the book was fun to listen to. Sonja Field has a lovely voice for the narration too.

What a great book. I particularly enjoyed the different perspectives from other authors and the checklist and questions to consider. Thanks
