I recently acquired (from this wonderful website nonetheless) this workbook. I came across the Writing the Breakout Novel book a long time ago and absolutely fell in love with it. When I came across this work book there was no way I could say no. Where the Writing the Breakout Novel book is extremely helpful in breaking all the elements of the breakout novel down, this workbook will help you apply them to your own works of fiction step by step with plenty of great examples along the way. A must buy for those who want to be breakout novelists, particularly for those who have already read Writing the Breakout Novel.
This workbook is full of very difficult questions that you can apply to your existing manuscript (or to planning for a new story) and that will help deepen and strengthen the characters and story.
