Million Dollar Outlines

Description

As lead judge of L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest, David Farland is a literary gatekeeper who knows writing can be taught. A NYT bestselling author himself, Farland has taught dozens of writers who have gone on to staggering literary success. A few include such #1 New York Times Bestsellers as James Dashner (The Maze Runner); Brandon Mull (Fablehaven); Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings); and Stephenie Meyer (Twilight). When writers languish in a pile of rejections and failed book launches, Farland sees what they are blind to--not one but many, many valid pathways forward, and an end goal that reaches far beyond publication, but to a stable career of ever growing literary success. In this book, Dave teaches how to analyze an audience and frame a novel to appeal to the widest possible readership, elevating its potential to achieve bestseller status. The tools found in his unconventional approach will help you understand why so many of his authors go on to prominence.
