Writing Reverse Outlines Like a Pro

Writing Reverse Outlines Like a Pro

A reverse outline is a powerful tool that allows novelists to boil plot and character arc down to the basics and make it easy to analyze a story’s big-picture elements. In this workshop, editor Jeni Chappelle teaches you to create a reverse outline for your novel with the method she uses for her developmental editing and coaching clients, plus how to use it for issues with:

  • Plot and conflict
  • Character arc
  • Agency
  • Pacing
  • Structure problems
