Creating Your Story Line

Your assignment is to create a 1 – 2 A4 page over-arching story, that captures the main story line of your book.

Use the STORY document (downloadable below) to craft your story line.

The purpose of The STORY document is many as follows:

• To give you an overall plan / story for your book
• If someone was to ask you about your book , this is what you would tell them.
• A clear vision of where your book is starting, going and finishing.
• It will help editors get a feel for your intentions
• It will serve as a great framework to help you map out your chapters in alignment with the full story.
• We will use it in later sessions to go deeper with your writing.
• It is a great future document for your authors synopsis and book cover extracts
