Question Me a Novel: A Workbook for Crime Fiction Writers

The “Question Me a Novel” workbook is designed for writers who:

• Want to write a novel but don’t know where to start
• Have started a novel but don’t know how to finish
• Have written one or more novels that feel flat and lacking in depth

Based on the premise that you are the expert on your novel, the system leads you through a series of open-ended, non-prescriptive questions and exercises that can take you all the way from the seed of an idea to a finished book, or move you through a “stuck” spot in your story. Whatever your genre, whether you’re a pantser or a plotter, this nuts & bolts workbook will give you practical, step-by-step strategies to take you from the initial idea to a completed first draft.

You’ll learn how to:

• create a strong foundation for your novel
• create memorable characters and a compelling plot
• add depth and complexity
• use background and sensory details to bring the world of your story to life
• and much more
