Writing Guides

The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing, by Evan Marshall.

Published in 1998 this writing guide was billed as “a 16-step program guaranteed to take you from idea to completed manuscript.” The Marshall Plan is meant to help you finish one story, start to finish. It’s able to be re-used if the writing bug hits you again.
