The Plan

Take a few minutes to create or update your storyline with our nimble one-page planning tool.

Your writing coach will review this before your next coaching session. Ideally, give them plenty of time 🍎. Certainly no less than 24 hours, please.

You may need to update your browser (and allow pop-ups) in order for this form to work.

Don’t worry if you can’t complete it all, have gaps, or are uncertain. Just tell us what you know so far, so we can help. You can return to it as many times as you like and the latest plan will be on our files. To update your plan on file with us, start over and submit a new plan here.

 ⚠️ We strongly suggest you copy and paste your answers into a separate document and save to your desktop to work from on a regular basis.

Please note: your synopsis should be to 750 words max. Why? It helps everyone focus on the leaner, cleaner story and what’s important and at stake in your story. (It will serve you well for the future as it is all agents will tolerate!) This is a core part of your training and development.

You can save a copy of your plan as a PDF by pressing Print and choosing to save.

After completing this plan, you’ll receive a copy by email. (Please check your spam or junk if you cannot find it.)

When you need to send us a new version of The Plan, come to this page and submit it once more. (That’s why it’s good to save it and update on your desktop as you go—it’s a working tool, folks!)

Happy writing!
