The writing community is fortunate to
have many great resources. Based on things I learned from phenomenal teachers
like Larry Brooks, Michael Hauge, and Martha Alderson, I developed these
worksheets* to help all writers, from plotters to pantsers (those who write by
the seat of their pants).
Let me know at my
Contact page if there are other worksheets you’d like me to create. Sign up for my newsletter to
receive my blog posts and hear about all additions I make to this page.

oriented)

New
to Beat Sheets? If
you’re not familiar with beat sheets or how to use them, check out my Beat Sheets 101 post. I
share MS Excel tips and explain how to read the columns and numbers. I also
have a post with tips for how pantsers can use
beat sheets too.
