One-Page Book Blueprint

Clarity before creation

Before chapters unfold and characters speak, every writer needs a simple map — a one-page blueprint that turns ideas into direction.
This is the heart of Storycraft: translating inspiration into structure, so your words know where to go.

What the one-page book blueprint includes

  1. Your Title and Reader Promise
    What transformation does your reader experience after reading your book?
    Write a single sentence beginning with “After reading this book, my reader will…”

  2. The Core Message
    Boil your idea down to one truth — the heartbeat of your story.

  3. The 11-Chapter Outline

    • 3 chapters for beginning: build trust, context, and curiosity

    • 5 chapters for middle: expand insights, depth, and discovery

    • 3 chapters for end: resolve, transform, inspire action

  4. Emotional Arc
    How do you want your reader to feel at each stage?

Blueprint = freedom

When your structure is simple, your creativity is free. You don’t have to plan every detail; you only need enough scaffolding for your imagination to climb.

How to use it

Print your one-page blueprint and place it where you write. Each time you sit down, return to it — not as a rule, but as a compass.

“The blueprint isn’t a cage; it’s the ground beneath your creative wings.”

You can download your own one-page guide through the Writer’s Starter Kit, or learn how to shape your full story through the Storycraft Program.
