About the author
Jesper Schmidt
14 books23 followersJesper Schmidt is a bestselling fantasy author who also dabbles in non-fiction.
If you need help with writing, publishing and marketing, Jesper can be found at www.amwritingfantasy.com.
He also invites you to join the world of Ylécium, an immersive experience, full of engaging fantasy stories. Visit www.amreadingfantasy.com.
There was a time where the art of writing was something that lived a quiet life, in the back of his mind. A dormant desire and, like so many of our dreams, it was placed on a list of things to do later. That’s, luckily, all in the past.
Nowadays, Jesper write stories about underwater dragons, vampires, awesome spellcasters, and dark Gods attempting to gain a foothold in the material realm of Ylécium.
If you haven’t had enough of this bio yet, here’s more: As of this writing, Jesper is 42 years old. He lives in Denmark with his wife and two sons. Denmark is that small spot of land, just North of Germany and East of United Kingdom. It’s the place where the population refuses to believe that the few can’t leave a mark on the world. Perhaps it’s the Viking heritage, but if the Hobbits could save everyone, so can the rest of us. Denmark might be an insignificant country in the eyes of Sauron, but at Mount Doom the truth will be revealed.
Jesper loves fantasy, worldbuilding – especially maps – and storytelling.

A Great Addition
But not a must when reading Plot Development. This workbook can really help in the times when you seem to be stuck and words are eluding you or you just need a warm up before buckling in to pop out those word goals. While this could be a stand alone, I would highly recommend buying the Plot Development book as well. There is more in depth information in the book as this is just the workbook. Both books have wonderful insights and great information no matter how many books you have published. And best part is you don't have to spend a lot of money on a writing class that may or may not help you understand writing just a little bit more.
I received a copy of this book as part of the Typo Slayer team to help the authors and I am giving my honest review.

This book is a very well structured and thought out guide on how to develop a plot for your book no matter the genre. It has great detail and makes the process of plot development a lot easier with step by step instructions on topics that range from character and story line development to chapter by chapter structure. Along with a large range of questions on topics such as; character characteristics and character growth, why you have certain characters and what makes them important and how to make your story that much more exciting. This is a very helpful guide for anyone who wants to write a novel whether it is your first time or you are a seasoned writer. –Michelle

An absolute must have for anyone wishing to try their hand at writing. This guide is perfect as a standalone, or better, a companion to the book Plot Development. The workbook will walk the writer through their book from beginning to end, giving detailed instruction on everything from the essential structure of their story to character development and more. The exercises within this book are a sure way for a writer to develop a strong skills and a compelling work everyone will love to read.
