Learn how to plan and outline your novel in less than 3 hours
Your high school english teacher was right — outlining is one of the most important steps in the writing process. It's also one of the most tedious and frustrating. Find out how to streamline the planning stage and get right to the good stuff with a novel outlining course on Udemy.
The instructors in this course are all best-selling self-published authors who collectively write more than two million words per year, so they definitely know how to be efficient without sacrificing quality. The course is intended to efficiently deepen your storytelling, not just rush through the planning process.
Almost three hours of video content cover how to outline with story beats, which is typically what happens in pre-production for movies and TV shows. This provides both thorough planning and flexibility to change things up as the story develops.
You can sign up for the course now on Udemy for $20. The course uses Scrivener for outlining, but you can still get plenty of helpful information without it. Scrivener is available for $45, though, so for a total of $65 you get the whole package. That's a whole lot cheaper than a creative writing MFA.
