Take Off Your Pants!: How Outlining Can Save Time, Increase Efficiency, and Create a Better Book

Libbie Hawker writes historical and literary fiction featuring complex characters and rich details of time and place. She is the author of more than thirty novels, including the two-time Amazon #1 and Washington Post bestseller The Ragged Edge of Night. Libbie will show you how outlines can increase efficiency and create a more predictable production schedule. She’ll also teach you why all outlines aren’t equally effective, how to structure a story so the compulsion to keep on reading is built into the fabric of the story, regardless of genre, setting, or theme and finally, how to use the basics of outlining to your benefit if you’re a die-hard “pantser” at heart.
