Manuscript @ Midnight

when the muse strikes 12

Elegant, focused, one-page guides
for writing after dark.

spending any morning doing what you love is a win

This PDF ebook contains 6 of my favourite single-page writing guides:

  1. The One Page Novel Cheatsheet – I’ve been teaching the One Page Novel structure for over a decade now, and this new cheatsheet distils everything I’ve learnt, as succinct as I could make it. 
  2. Underworld Vade Mecum – everything you need for a literary sojourn in the Underworld of Adventure.
  3. Graveyard Shift – 
  4. Eleventh Hour – sometimes I get caught up in a scene at the sentence level, so I created this simple chart to get an overview of how a scene or a chapter performs in the overall story. It’s also a great excuse for using coloured pencils or highlighters.
  5. Dead of Night – conversing with the dead.
  6. Ringing True
  7. Midnight ToilThe One Page Novel focuses on internal change, and this “map” describes the emotional landscape of each stage, so we don’t get fixated on action alone.
  8. Guiding Light – This one’s really simple, but I had a character who I wanted to feel more real and interesting to me, and I thought the easiest, most straightforward way to accomplish this would be to treat them as a real person, and show them love and attention. So that’s what this worksheet is for.
