Mastering Plotto

How to Write A Novel Each Week

The trick is in coming up with enough plots.

A wildly prolific, early 20th century pulp writer, William Wallace Cook was a writing machine.

While he set the bar for pulp fiction, he was also passionate about the process of writing itself. Keeping notes on index cards, he was able to distill the process of plotting down to a simple, but thorough manual.

Alfred Hitchcock was an early student, so was Earl Stanley Gardner. Robert Silverberg also gave a great review of the book.

When Cook published Plotto in finished from, he received feedback from readers who still could not work out how to use his massive book from the instructions in the front of it.

In 1934, he came out with a seven-part lesson series that simplified the learning curve.

This edition includes the Plotto Chart of Masterplots With Interchangeable Clauses for quick reference.

If you have (or want to get) Plotto, this book is a key learning manual for any author.
