​​Most writers are taught to start with what happens.

That’s what keeps them stuck.

Story Milestones teaches you how to build your plot around your main character’s deepest change so your story actually works the first time.

Before Story Milestones...

I'd use templates and beat sheets but still have to rewrite chapters over and over again

The middle felt like a gaping chasm I had to pole vault over (but I left my pole at home)...

I'd panic thinking, am I just really bad at this? Why can't I think of a dang climax?

Now...

…I don't rewrite chapters endlessly, because I know what each story milestone is doing for my character and why each scene has to exist.

I don't get lost at the midpoint, because I know exactly what that milestone is supposed to do

...I never panic, because I know I can go back to my main character to figure it out

And over 300 students have done the same. All because we use our main characters to figure everything out!

Most outlining tools start with plot, but leave you forcing your character into it later.

Story Milestones starts with your character and lets the plot build itself from there.

And leads to a more consistent, connected, and meaningful novel every time.

Here’s what you'll use:

✔️Creating the Right Character Arc. Not just "positive, negative, or flat." An arc that naturally generates your entire story.

✔️The Five-Point Story Milestones Method. Simplify how you plot by understanding how each big moment changes your main character.

✔️Aligning Plot and Character Masterclass. Learn the secret behind every bestselling novel and master the art of true storytelling.

✔️ LIFETIME ACCESS to 20+ no-fluff, bingeable video lessons and a 40+ page workbook (plus any future updates)

PLUS these bonuses:

✔️BONUS: Crafting an Unforgettable Idea Workbook. Strong stories are built on strong ideas. Make sure your idea makes readers have to know what happens next.

✔️BONUS: Plot Hole Detector Outlining Checklists. No more plot holes, no thank you! Write confidently with my personal outlining checklists.

✔️BONUS: Up the Tension Masterclass. Keep your readers up until 2am with proven strategies to build suspense through every scene.

✔️BONUS: Mastering Foreshadowing. Plant intentional hints that pique your readers’ curiosity.

✔️ BONUS: Narration and POV Deep Dive. Understand how to pick the perfect point of view for your story

✔️ BONUS: Finding Your Unique Writing Voice. Learn the difference between author, narrator, and character voice so you can create a signature writing style.

The thing every outline template and plotting tool miss is finding the real story underneath it all.

Story Milestones helps you find it and use it to connect your entire story from start to finish.

It's the clearest, simplest way to outline a novel that actually works.

I love questions. Lay 'em on me!

How long will this take?

It's all up to you! I've had writers plot their novels in a weekend, while others did it in a few weeks.

The lessons are short and focused (hairless cat level fluffy), so you can see your story come together quickly.

Oh—you also have lifetime access, so there's no rush!

Do I need to have a full story idea before starting?

Not at all! This course helps you build your story as you go. All you need is a character (they don't have to be fully developed) and some ideas for scenes and the kind of story you'd like to tell (genre, tone, etc.)

I’ve tried outlining before and it didn’t work. What makes this different?

This is more "story development" than strict "outlining." Most outlining methods focus on plot points, which is why writers get stuck using them.

Story Milestones starts with your character and builds your plot around them.

It’s flexible, intuitive, and based on centuries-old storytelling principles that are rock-solid.

Can I use this method again for future books?

Omg yes!! This isn't a "one and done" thing. The Story Milestones Method is a repeatable process you can use for every story you ever write.

The best part is, each story will be as unique as your next main character, because you're learning to develop character-driven narratives, not fill in basic plot points in a beat sheet.

Is this course okay for beginners?

Absolutely!! You don’t need any fancy writing experience or an MFA or anything.

This is made for writers who care about their story, want to finish what they started, and are ready to finally feel good about it. Know what I'm sayin?

What if I've already written part or all of my story?

Totally okay! Most of my writers have at least some of their story already written. Bring what you have, and these lessons will help you shape it into a complete, well-developed story.
