Writing plot is the single-most challenging aspect of writing any writer faces. As the author of BLOCKBUSTER PLOTS Pure & Simple, an award-winning writer of historical fiction, and a plot consultant, I have developed a three-part method that has transformed the lives of hundreds of published and aspiring writers. My clients include best-selling authors of adult, children's, and young adult fiction, romance writers, mystery writers, and all other genres, screenplays, memoirs, writing teachers, and fiction editors.
Testimonial

My dream is to write a stories with provocative, unique characters, dynamic, tension-filled stories - page turners nobody can put down. Those are the books I love to read - the ones that hook me in from the very first paragraph. The key to that is plot, plain and simple. Great writing is the icing on the cake.
Martha is as knowledgeable and passionate about storytelling and "plotting" plot as anyone I have ever met. Her books, templates and workshops break it down and get the light bulbs going! A writer at any level will learn something. I can imagine myself seeking her out again and again for coaching along the way.
She can't do the puzzle for you but she can help you find those precious corner pieces and everything can fall into place after that."
Jennifer Solow, author of the national bestseller, THE BOOSTER

Plot is a series of SCENES deliberately arranged by CAUSE AND EFFECT to create DRAMATIC ACTION filled with CONFLICT to further the CHARACTER EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT and provide THEMATIC SIGNIFICANCE.
