Module 2 of 11
Your story, from your book or your idea
This module turns your whole book, or a single idea, into a one-page story that fits 30 to 60 seconds. The two doors split for the first two lessons, then meet again.
Have a book? Start with lesson 1. Only an idea? Start with lesson 2. Both doors carry on from lesson 3.
- What you’ll make
- A one-page story: who, where, what they want, what goes wrong, and the last thing we see.
- What it costs
- Free. Writing the whole book in BookWriter is optional: the first chapter is free, and a full book starts at $9.99.
