His clear-cut, 16-step "Marshall Plan" breaks down the complex novel-writing process into a series of parts that the aspiring writer can put together one piece at a time. The novice writer will have his or her whole story planned and plotted before actually beginning to write so that there is no chance of working themselves into a corner or making critical mistakes in pacing and plotting.
The sections on how to refine your story idea, be your own editor and prepare your manuscript for submission are excellent, as is the chapter on how to write action, summary and dialogue.
THE MARSHALL PLAN FOR NOVEL WRITING is a practical, workable, effective program to take the novelist from idea to completed manuscript, one that will seize the attention of readers, agents, editors, and reviewers.
