About this listen
A magical key to unlock your creative wizard
Are you writing a novel, but having trouble getting your first draft written? You've heard of "outlining", but that sounds too rigid for you. You've heard of "organic writing", but that seems a bit squishy to you.
Take a look at the wildly popular Snowflake Method - a battle-tested series of 10 steps that jump-start your creativity and help you quickly map out your story. All around the world, novelists are using the Snowflake Method right now to ignite their imaginations and get their first drafts down on paper.
In this book, you'll follow the story of a fictitious novelist as she learns to tap into the amazing power of the Snowflake Method. Almost magically, she finds her story growing from a simple idea into a deep and powerful novel. And she finds her novel changing her - turning her into a stronger, more courageous person.
Zany, over the top, and just plain fun
How to Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method is a "business parable" - a how-to guide written in story form. It's zany. It's over the top. It's just plain fun. Most important, it's effective, because it shows you, rather than telling you.
You'll learn by example how to grow your story idea into a sizzling first draft.
You'll discover:
- How to define your "target audience" the right way, so you know exactly how your ideal listeners think and feel. Forget what the experts tell you about "demographics."
- How to create a dynamite selling tool that will instantly tell people whether they'll love your story or hate it. And you want them to either love it or hate it.
- How to get inside the skin of every one of your characters - even your villain. Especially your villain.
- How to find a deep, emotively powerful theme for your story. Do you know the one best point in your novel to unveil your theme - when your listener is most eager to hear it?
- Why backtracking is good, even essential.

Useful book. Awful narration
This book is ideal for its intended audience - aspiring writers.
It’s a good way to explain the process and elaborate on the steps involved.
However, I really wish the author had found a better narrator.
His reading of the dialogue is so stilted and disjointed, with stress and inflections in all the wrong places, it made for an annoying listen.

good advice
A great method for putting a book together. Set alongside a story, which may put some off. Skip to chapter 19 for straight talking guidance. Overall though some good advice

A must for any logical new writer
Mr Ingerman teaches a logical way to develop a novel, and brings it to life with a novel technique.
I've never read a fictionalised non fiction book before.
My Portuguese isn't great but imagine Paul Rabbit turning metal into gold.
I loved every word of it.

Great audio book but not the best format for this
using a good story and relatable characters the snowflake method is explained very well and at a good pace. I'm glad I listened but will need the free PDF mentioned to use this info.

this was a great book!
I was surprised how much the book hooked me. very clever way of explaining the Snowflake method within its own story book. I will definitely try to take on the Snowflake method with my first book x

Gave me loads to think about
This book is written using the Snowflake Method. the method itself encourages the writer to front load the structure and outline of the novel before even writing the first draft. Excellent.

Somewhat long-winded
I've read the book and thought I would absorb it more by listening to it instead. However I do feel that the story, and therefore the audio book, can be long-winded to make a simple point. Some of these points are very good, but they can feel buried in the story, especially when Goldilocks and the Wolf argue in the lesson.
