What you'll learn

  • Outline best selling fiction books.
  • Improve any story by adding more tension and excitement.
  • Write quicker and easier with an outline as your guide.
  • Analyze great stories and use them to inspire your own amazing stories.

Requirements

  • All you need is the desire to write.

Description

When writing a book, one of the most important requirements is the ability to present an exciting story that your readers will invest in. A story where they will want to know what comes next right through to the end.

In this training I show by example, how to break down popular fiction into the basics of the story. The skeleton of the story, and from that simple outline, I give 2 examples of how to create a new story in two different genres, to show how simple my outlining method works.

I demonstrate with the same outline sheets I use when I am writing a book, and also for the books I get my ghostwriters to write for me. Those outline sheets are available for download in the course.

It is so simple that I know by the end of the training you will be able to write your own book with exciting storylines too.

I also show how to build out the sections of the stories using simple techniques and the use of questions to bring out your creativity.

You will easily decide how many words you need in each section of your book, and once it is broken down into the smaller pieces of the story, you will find it a lot easier to write the book.

The benefit of doing this is you will also be able to write your books a lot faster.

You won’t get stuck for words. You won’t be looking at a blank screen or piece of paper wondering why you’ve got writers block.

There are 18 lectures and an hour of content.

There are downloadable files that you can use for all your books.

I’ve structured this course in a simple methodical way based on the best results I’ve had from training thousands of people in book publishing.

You will gain confidence and skills that will benefit you for a lifetime of easy writing.

I’ve kept the videos short and to the point without leaving out the crucial information you need to succeed.

You can go away in the next day with a whole new understanding of what Riveting Fiction is all about.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to write exciting books.
  • Anyone who wants to improve their storylines.
  • Anyone who struggles for ideas on what to write in their books.

This was really done well and I enjoyed it. I am working on a visual studio to create a software program so I don't have to write in boxes and white out and retype to move things around. That's just how I roll.

        I help people to succeed in business so they can enjoy the freedom that comes with a consistent income and financial stability. 

        There are so many opportunities to build wealth from the comfort and convenience of your own home, or wherever you choose to work. 

        Over the years I’ve worked with some of the most successful marketers on and offline, and in doing so it has allowed me to share the secrets of success with thousands of others. 

        I’ve had considerable success since becoming a full time marketer in 1998 and have taught thousands of people just like you how to replicate my success. 

        I know the importance of building a business that will generate an income for the long term. One that will give you the financial security that you need. 

        Everything I teach is based on genuine and proven business methods, so you know when you invest your time and money into anything I teach, you will get a positive return. 

  I've been publishing books on Amazon Kindle, iTunes and other online bookstores since the beginning of 2010.

        There is no better way to live your life than on your own terms, with the freedom to do what you like, when you like. 

        You will learn how to do that, from what I teach.
