Learn to plot using the “W” and write a synopsis with Karen Docter

The plot is integral to every novel, holds everything together.  It’s the vehicle that carries readers from page one to “The End”.  It’s one of the scariest things an author faces when s/he decides, hey, I want to write a novel!

Join four-time Golden Heart® finalist and Daphne du Maurier winner Karen Docter as she shares the “W” plotting technique she’s used successfully for years.  Karen’s analyzes the movie Romancing the Stone where she shows how the technique works, discussing detailed plot points for the main characters including the villain.  Gather all of the tools you need to plot your own story using the “W”, as well as the critical information you need to write the synopsis we all love to hate…all without writing one word of the novel.Whatever your genre, pantser or plotter, this workshop is designed for the novice and experienced novel writer.
