Plotting Your Novel

A convincing and consistent plot is essential groundwork for the basis of any good novel. It is vital that you are able to look at your plot objectively and tell whether or not it will be viable in the market.

• Can you carry it off with enough twists and turns to create tension, pace and atmosphere?
• Is yours a plot that can be made to stand out?
• Are you making your plot interesting enough?
• Are there holes within the framework of your plot
• Could these be fatal flaws which will hinder you when you come to write?

Our editors will go through your outline and will assess all of the above points and more. You will need to submit a detailed novel outline to us to work from and we will contact you with queries if we need further information on any specific areas.

This editorial service is usually combined with the 'How to' guide to writing a synopsis for maximum impact. The combination will give you the skills needed to assess the strength of your future ideas and present them to literary agents and publishers.
