By very, very, very popular demand, here\u2019s a PDF download of a novel outline template. You have been asking for one for years<\/em>, but the closest I\u2019ve ever written is this short article on a novel synopsis<\/a>. Well, I\u2019ve rectified that!<\/p>\n

You can also grab it directly via this Google Drive link<\/a>. (To use the document in your own Google Drive, simply make a copy of it by going to the File menu, then to \u201cMake a copy\u201d. You won\u2019t be able to edit the original because I want everyone to have this template.)<\/p>\n

\"Novel<\/a>
Fill in this template to start charting your own novel outline. It\u2019s good stuff!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Writers want to see examples of a novel outline template because there are so many ways to achieve this. What goes into a novel outline<\/a>? How do you format it? This is certainly one way to organize an outline, but there are many other writers and writing teachers who have put together comprehensive advice and their own novel outline templates. (Two of my favorites are\u00a0Fool Proof Outline<\/em><\/a> and Outlining Your Novel<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Start here and see where it takes you. Most of my readers know that I\u2019ve been teaching the concept of interiority<\/a> for years, and so this outline goes into character arc<\/a> a lot, not just plot arc. I think it\u2019s the best of both worlds, but would love to hear your reactions in the comments when you use it!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a deeper dive into outlining and crafting your novel, check out our six-month writing intensive at Story Mastermind<\/a>. This program is for serious writers only\u2014the ones who want to invest the time and effort it takes to make their work the best it can be, and to help others do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a freelance editor, I do the novel outline edit<\/a> all the time. Do all the hard thinking ahead of time. Kick the tires of your idea. Pressure test your plot and character arcs. I can do one or multiple rounds to make sure you have a road map for your future draft nailed down before you sit down to write. This is honestly one of my favorite services to do because we can anticipate a lot of issues ahead of time and save you so much revision heartache.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
