Get to know our special guest, Robison Wells, author of Variant, a YA dystopian novel.
Learn how he got the idea for his first novel, wrote the book, and acquired an agent and a publisher in less than a year! He also explains how he outlines using chapter to chapter summaries with goals for each chapter and his brother Dan Well’s seven point plot structure system (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcmiqQ9NpPE).
He’ll be doing some book signings for Feedback, the sequel to Variant starting Oct. 2nd,.

Well sign me up for a giveaway. Now if I can just figure out how he wrote that first one so fast I’ll be golden. Great job crew.

I heard about that Dan Wells 7 step plot line and started using it to remember possible future book ideas. Better way to flush out a true idea that has book potential. I will have to look up the 1 hour YouTube video. Thanks for the podcast.

Just recently I have heard about the Dan Wells 7 step plot structure and decided to look into it. I started using it as a way to write down ideas for possible future books. Figure out what the 7 parts were and see if it really is a good book idea. I will have to look up the YouTube video. Thanks for the podcast.

Hey, next time you see Rob, ask him if he lifted the “Trust No One” tag from the X Files. I say lifted, not stole, Rob would never steal.
