Introducing...

The Story Milestones

Your Image

You use your main character to build your story layer by layer, so every part connects.

Then, you walk away with a story that actually makes sense from start to finish and is 100% yours.

Look I’ma give it to you straight as someone who LOVES organization:

You don't need another plot template.

(Put down "Save the Cat." PLEASE.)

I know. I love it, too.

BUT, most plot templates and beat sheets miss the most important piece of the making-your-story-click puzzle:

YOUR main character

The Story Milestones Method shows you how to take YOUR main character and build a unique plot around them.

Here's how it works:

Let’s say you already have a few ideas for your story.

Your main character could:

  • Join the circus to become a trapeze artist
  • Work at the department store in a dying mall
  • Star in the local rodeo as a bullfighter

So…

How do you choose which is right?

Most writers guess.

They pick:

  • what sounds interesting to them
  • what they would choose
  • or what they think readers would like most

But that’s exactly why the story won’t hold up.

Because the plot isn’t connected to the protagonist. It’s random.

Once you pick a path, then what?

What about what happens after they get the job at the mall?

Now let’s change ONE thing:

Your main character needs to overcome their fear of heights.

Suddenly…the right path for THEM (and therefore your story) is obvious.

They should join the circus as a trapeze artist

Because now:

The plot forces them to confront their fear

And every scene has a clear purpose

Whenever you wonder, what next?

You can ask, what would help them overcome this fear?

That’s what Story Milestones does.

It replaces guessing with a clear, step-by-step process to decide what happens next, every time.


Think of it like this:

Instead of a beginning you rewrite 14 times and it still doesn’t feel right…

you have a beginning that perfectly sets up who your character is before they experience The Story

Instead of a middle that feels like a gaping chasm you have to pole vault over (and you left your pole at the office)…

…now you have a middle that’s crystal clear and the perfect turning point for your character

Instead of an ending that feels lackluster (if you ever get there)...

…now you know exactly where to end your story so readers are left clutching your book and rethinking their entire life

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.

"This has helped me more than anything else I've tried. It's like having a GPS for my novel."

The writers who’ve used Story Milestones are:

  • full-time teachers
  • truck drivers
  • single parents
  • lawyers
  • marketers
  • doctors

They’re normal people with busy schedules who wondered, can I really do it?

And they’ve still used this to finally connect their story and move forward.

They write across genres, too, including:

  • YA
  • romance
  • fantasy/romantasy
  • sci-fi
  • mystery & detective stories
  • women’s fiction
  • children’s fiction
  • historical fiction & alternate history
  • literary & upmarket fiction
  • commercial & adventure stories

Because this isn’t about forcing your story into a formula.

It’s about using YOUR character to build a story that works, no matter what you’re writing.


Here’s what you'll use:

✔️The Character Premise Method. The piece that makes your story finally click and lets your main character drive your entire plot.

✔️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)

✔️[BONUS] My complete outlining checklists. Catch plot holes before you write them and double-check you have everything you need

✔️ [BONUS] Create a story idea that hooks readers immediately

✔️ [BONUS] Seven masterclasses on tension, pacing, foreshadowing, and more

✔️ [BONUS] How to master the right point of view and develop your unique writing voice


Imagine sitting down to write...

...and actually knowing where you're headed.

No more blank page angst. No more question marks. Just clear steps to create a story that works. Every time!

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.
