By Georgia Spearing


Stop staring at a blank page—start building your world with confidence.


Hello, fellow aspiring writers!


Let’s be honest—starting a book can feel like diving headfirst into the unknown. You’ve got the passion, the ideas, and a head full of characters begging for life, but… where do you even begin?

I’ve been there. That blinking cursor mocking you, the endless plot points tangling in your head like fairy lights after a move. That’s why I’ve created a free downloadable book outline to help you actually start writing the story you’ve been dreaming of.


This isn't just a boring template. It's a carefully crafted tool to guide your ideas from spark to structure. Whether you're a fantasy fanatic, a romance rebel, or a dark-hearted thriller lover, this outline will help shape your vision and make the process less overwhelming—and a lot more fun.



🧭 Manuscript Objectives – Why This Outline Works


This book outline is designed with 3 key goals in mind:

  1. Clarity – You’ll define exactly what your book is about and who it’s for. No more vague wandering!

  2. Direction – With chapter-by-chapter planning, you'll always know what comes next.

  3. Inspiration – Instead of limiting creativity, this outline helps unlock it by asking the right questions.
