Julie Broad walks through why chapter templates matter and how to build an outline that actually works. Each chapter needs its own hook and a clear reader outcome, and your initial bullets will probably change as you write, so don't get discouraged when they do.
In creating the course, the need for templates came up. But not just a template for a book outline, a template for a chapter. Your book needs a hook, but then each chapter needs a hook of its own, too. And the hook in all these cases is always an outcome of an outcome. So once you have that outline, which is essentially a list of chapter concepts, you then need to write to get to the reader outcome of the outcome or the story arc you're going to take your reader through to get them to that outcome of the outcome, depending on what kind of book you're writing. Once you have that, you now need to take a look at each of those chapter concepts or chapter stories and determine what the best structure for them is. Many people, including me, outline a book with bullets, and that works to start, but the book never. Well, that's kind of conclusive. Let me say the book rarely ends up looking anything like those bullet points. And as I learned, teaching the class, thinking your book is going to look like that outline is a recipe for feeling discouraged and unproductive.
