Book writing outline template

To create a book chapter outline, follow the same principles as creating an outline for your entire book

Decide where the chapter starts and ends, and figure out what actions your characters will take to reach the end point

Prioritize your story outline’s variables based on what you think is key to your storytelling

If you’re writing a story with a huge cast of characters, you may want to include a column that tells you where each character is in every scene

If you’re juggling a lot of subplots and character arcs, use your novel outline to trace that

The purpose of this template is to help you expand your story idea into a fully developed story plot and outline
