Synopsis

Greg Smith founded the Agile Writer Workshop in 2011 with the mission of finding a new approach to helping beginning writers complete a first-draft novel in 6 months. Greg created the "Agile Writer Method" based upon the writings of experts in mythology, screenwriting, psychology, and a little project management.

Greg's seminars on the Agile Writer Method have delighted thousands of writers, scholars, and university students. During its 8-year tenure in Richmond, VA, the Agile Writer Workshop produced over 50 first-draft novels. That's about one new novel every two months. Also, over a dozen Agile Writers have been published. You could be next!

Agile Writer: Method is a practical explanation of what makes a great story and how to create a plan to write it. Smith breaks the novel down into 8 stages, each composed of 30 pages.

Each stage tells a specific part of the story. Then, he helps the write create a plan to write 10 pages a week for 25 weeks until a novel of 250 pages is complete.

Inside you'll find guidance on how to create:

• The Story Abstract: a one-page description of your story
• The Hero Abstract: a one-page description of the main character
• The Synopsis: an 8-page treatment of your story
• The Agile Storyboard: an 8-stage breakdown of the novel

This new second edition is updated with corrections and improved templates.
