Title: THE STORY TEMPLATE
Author: Amy Deardon
Publisher: Taegais Publishing, LLC
July 2011
ISBN: 978-0-9818997-3-2
Genre: Writing/plotting/writer’s block
Most people say they want to write a novel or a screen play. But they don’t have any idea where to begin. They write some words, maybe a chapter or two, then they don’t know where to go from there. If you are that person, then THE STORY TEMPLATE is a book you should consider.
THE STORY TEMPLATE is a writer’s conference in one book. It takes you from the beginning, using the plotting method, of planning your novel. Who are your characters? What do they do? What do you want the underlying message of the story to be? Where will it be set? What time period? What do you envision when you think of that area? And it gives you writing exercises, where you describe what you are “seeing,” and what you’re wanting to convey.
With THE STORY TEMPLATE you can:
Ascertain the four foundational story pillars, and use the “secret weapon” of the story template to structure your story
Build character depth with believable change
Create subplots to raise tension while you deepen and contrast story themes
Review writing techniques that shape your ideas into a compelling manuscript
THE STORY TEMPLATE is a product of Ms. Deardon’s extensive research when she started writing. It is an invaluable tool for the beginning writer, or even a more accomplished one who is suffering from writers block—or finding themselves facing a tight deadline with no idea where to start. If you are a writer, at any level, then you’ll want a copy of Ms. Deardon’s THE STORY TEMPLATE. $15.95. 239 pages

Well, I'm not sure what to say about this. It'd be great if I could win this book, because my aspirations to write - and my longing to do so - have all come to naught. I know that I need a way to formulate a story from beginning to end, but (I live in Canada) they are hard to come by. :( Particularly in ENGLISH.
Hi, it was nice to "meet" you on your blog...home educator here! Realtor's wife, mom of 3 teens, one in engineering college, aspiring Inspy historical romance writer (1st draft done). Would love to win this book. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the chance to win The Story Template!

Sounds like a great book! (Given my issues with planning, I could probably really use it.) Thanks for the giveaway!

Never can have enough great books on writing.

Hi Everyone. I was frustrated while writing my first novel, and figured there had to be a better method than trial-and-error. When I looked into it I was amazed at the deep structure of story. This book is a product of my coaching students. The Template is fine if you're a pantser or planner -- it just gives guidance so you don't get stuck. Good luck! Amy
