How it works
The flow should be simple enough to use quickly and structured enough to produce a useful publishing decision.
Choose the book type first
The right structure depends on whether you are building fiction, memoir, or non-fiction for this market.
Generate a usable chapter flow
Move beyond vague ideas into a concrete sequence of chapters, beats, or sections you can actually write against.
Turn the draft into a working brief
Use the outline as the base for writing, pitching, and aligning later decisions like title, cover, and production scope.
