Hello fellow storyteller, and welcome to the land of story crafting! I created this 150 paged Crime & Mystery Novel Planner to not only help & motivate writers to complete a solid manuscript, but lightly guide them through the entire novel development process from brainstorming their title and first line, to releasing their book out into the world. The Mystery Planner is meant for anyone creating a story that has a cuprit and follows the general mystery beat formula. This will help you puzzle out your story, get into the mind of your culprit, and explore your protagonist's wants and desires on a deeper level. The planner is filled with prompts, questions, worksheets, checklists, outlines, and some tips. It is a workbook, so it’s up to you to fill in the pages with your ideas. By the end, you will have a solid foundation to build on while drafting, and a lovely keepsake of your writing journey.
