“As a reluctant outliner, I couldn't recommend K.M. Weiland's book more. The techniques she suggests in Outlining Your Novel will definitely help me in future projects as I further explore the outlining concept. Her book is well organized, beginning with many misconceptions about outlines - many of which I used to adhere to until recently - and taking you step-by-step to the start of the actual writing of your novel.... What makes K.M.'s book great is the fact she speaks from personal experience, describing the techniques she personally uses when drafting her novels.... If you're a newbie writer, or just a newbie to outlining, reading K.M.'s book is well worth the time.” Read Full Review Online
—Liberty Speidel, Kansas “I just finished reading this book and I cannot wait to get started applying all of these great ideas to my story. I have been preparing, researching, writing bits of, and stalling on the same story for 5 or 6 years although the story itself has been so compelling to me that I have never been able to drop it completely. Now I am going to pick it back up again and give it a fresh try going step by step through all of the chapters of this book and applying them. As I was reading this book fresh ideas and new outlooks for my story kept popping into my mind. K.M. Weiland is a very inspirational writer! I've read both of her novels and can attest to the fact that she uses all of the ideas in this book with great success. All of the hard work up front in the outline definitely pays off!” Read Full Review Online
—literaryclassics “As a writer who has attempted a handful of novels in the past without an outline, I knew it was something I would need going forward with my newest work-in-progress. I wasn't sold on the idea of an outline at first, though. They seemed restrictive, boring, and frankly too much work BEFORE starting the real work of writing a book. But after reading Outlining Your Novel my mind is completely changed. In fact, I doubt that I'll ever go back to 'pantsing' it with novels. Weiland's guide not only walks you through the steps necessary to set up a functional, useful outline, but it also explains WHY having a road map will make your story better. She's absolutely right - when I try to write without a guide, I only get so far before I panic and stop working altogether. I would never head to a new city without directions, so it makes no sense to write a new story without a guide either. Both are new, unfamiliar territory. Both can be conquered with some planning.” Read Full Review Online
—Kristin A. Offiler “I just finished reading this terrific book. It gives such terrific advice on a way to create an outline which although simple will probably be the best thing I ever do when it comes to my novels. I can't wait to try this out on my current novel that has stalled out. Thanks for creating such a wonderful book!!!” Read Full Review Online
