13. How to Map Your Nonfiction Book


Listen Later

Once you’ve clarified the big idea for your book, your next challenge is figuring out how you’re going to bring that big idea to life. In this episode, Liz and Ariel walk you through their book mapping process, giving a brief overview of the three key stages:

  • Your transformation tale
  • Book structure
  • Chapter structure
  • In each stage, Liz & Ariel teach the questions you should be asking and give examples of how you might visually map out your book’s content.

    For more information about book mapping, read “Create a Book Map for Your Nonfiction Book” on Jane Friedman’s blog.
