This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 269th episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors podcast.

And I am thrilled to announce that the long-awaited workbooks for outlining your novel

and structuring your novel are now

are now available.

These workbooks are designed as companions

to my original books, which you can now think of

sort of as textbooks.

The workbooks feature probing questions

based on every step and exercise discussed in the main books and sometimes

expanding even beyond the original information to help you outline

and structure your novels in a practical hands-on way. The workbooks are available as

both paperbacks in which you can write your answers to the questions right into the books and as digital versions which include all the same questions in a digital friendly format which you can use to then brainstorm and

write your answers in a notebook or on the computer. I'm really excited with

how the workbooks turned out. I think they have the potential to be a great

tool for helping you realize your best stories. So I hope you enjoy them.

The latest post on the video series on my blog is the hilarious

two-step plan for writing humor in fiction. It talks about the

successful premise of comedy in any book and the two crucial steps to writing

humor in your story.
