Course Description

When writing a book, one of the most important requirements is the ability to present an exciting story that your readers will invest in. A story where they will want to know what comes next right through to the end.
In this training I show by example, how to break down popular fiction into the basics of the story. The skeleton of the story, and from that simple outline, I give 2 examples of how to create a new story in two different genres, to show how simple my outlining method works.
I demonstrate with the same outline sheets I use when I am writing a book, and also for the books I get my ghostwriters to write for me. Those outline sheets are available for download in the course.
It is so simple that I know by the end of the training you will be able to write your own book with exciting storylines too.
I also show how to build out the sections of the stories using simple techniques and the use of questions to bring out your creativity.
You will easily decide how many words you need in each section of your book, and once it is broken down into the smaller pieces of the story, you will find it a lot easier to write the book. The benefit of doing this is you will also be able to write your books a lot faster. You wont get stuck for words. You wont be looking at a blank screen or piece of paper wondering why youve got writers block. There are 18 lectures and an hour of content.
There are downloadable files that you can use for all your books.
Ive structured this course in a simple methodical way based on the best results Ive had from training thousands of people in book publishing.
You will gain confidence and skills that will benefit you for a lifetime of easy writing.
Ive kept the videos short and to the point without leaving out the crucial information you need to succeed.
You can go away in the next day with a whole new understanding of what Riveting Fiction is all about.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who wants to write exciting books.
Anyone who wants to improve their storylines.
Anyone who struggles for ideas on what to write in their books.

This is a good course even though it is rather short. I learned a great deal. I am familiar with outlining, but he offers a shortcut. I dropped half a star for two reasons. First, the instructor does not give the printout for the first outline from which we are developing the other two outlines. It would have been helpful to have that side by side to see the transition. Second, the instructor describes and demonstrates outlining individual sections on the two outlines, but he does not show or provide a "finished outline". It would have been helpful to see a completed outline that would be provided to an outsource or from which one would personally write.

Truly an amazing course to begin to learn how to gain a footing in a seemingly difficult craft. The author did an exceptional job in laying the foundation of what would be required, and provided a full transcription of what he narrated which helped greatly. Looking forward to exploring his part two course also, and will be on the lookout for further material he creates. A+

What a great way to outline. This is new to me so its definitely worth me trying out.

By Claire Hurrell on 10/4/2020

I did not find this one helpful, sorry.

Geoff breaks it down so easily. I cant wait to get more of his courses.

By Pamela Nova Wolf on 9/26/2020

I'm looking forward to trying this. I wish the transcripts had titles so I didn't have to figure out what went in what order after printing them all, and then messing up the natural order.

Very basic. It basically just tells you ho to get ideas from tv series, and how to organize your plot in the most basic form. Maybe it could be useful if you are not a writer, but if you are and you do not know these things, maybe you should choose a different hobby.

An excellent course delivered in bite-sized chunks that are so easy to digest. As someone who has spent over 20 years being highly successful writing articles and blog posts for high end website owners, this is not just dazzlingly easy, but practically impossible to get wrong!

By Bryan Overton on 8/23/2020

The instructor is very clear, and presents a clever, fast way of getting ideas and creating a detailed outline, and he also demonstrates how to add suspense, tension, urgency, and excitement to your stories! I am excited to put his methods to the test!

By Desiree Hagwood on 8/16/2020

Not a good course. This seemed like a cash-grab from the instructor. I was fooled into buying this. There are not enough examples provided, and in the questions through the years other students have asked for at least one additional small outline to help cement what he's teaching and his advice is to go to fan-sites and pull up their summaries/outlines or search thru IMDB.com for show summaries. I write this review to save others who might be on the fence about purchasing this to help you learn how to write. My word of advice, save your money. This wasn't even worth the $10 or $12 I paid for this course. Although, I've taken much better courses on Udemy it's just courses like this that have just enough thrown in there to be called a course that are the bad seeds of this site. Very disappointed.

By Mary Ogle on 8/10/2020

A precise, clear speaker providing excellent tools to outline a novel. It's not incredibly detailed, but more of an overview on how to begin. There's a good foundation here if you're willing to put in the effort to build on it.

By Lisiane Walther on 8/7/2020

Amazing! Loved this course. Fast and actionable, a few great insights into story-writing techniques and a process that is so easy and efficient to replicate ANYBODY can start writing a book. Thank you so much Geoff!
