FREE | Reedsy Live – How to Outline a Novel
March 30, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
About this event
We’ve all heard that there are two types of writers: plotters and pantsers. Well, what if you are neither of these? Is there another way?
Join Caroline Leavitt, New York Times Bestselling author of With or Without You (Algonquin), and Gina Sorell, the author of The Wise Women (April 5, Harper Collins), as they discuss:
- Their different approaches to outlining;
- When to use them; and
- How to know which approach is right for you and your project.
As always, they’ll be taking questions from attendees about writing and publishing and answering them with their usual warmth, honesty, and candor. See you there!

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
