How many times have you found yourself staring at the computer screen trying to figure out what story you were going to tell next?
How often do you find yourself reading other people's stories to see if you can find the spark for your next fiction story?
How much time do you waste waiting for inspiration from the wordsmith gods?
Unless you are a writer, who has a deep well of creativity to pull from, you probably spend far too much of your time developing your story ideas.
We cannot collect book royalties on books not yet written…
In order to get paid for our time, we actually have to finish writing and publishing our book!
And when we do get paid, they won't pay us extra for the time we spent staring at a blank page!
If we could actually get paid for staring at a blank screen, I'd be a millionaire already.
Foundations Of Stories You Can Make Into Your Own
A well-written plot will provide enough information to spark your creativity, without giving so much detail that you will feel stuck in someone else's story construct.
A strong plot will:
- Define the characters;
- Explain the conflict that your main character will want to overcome. This will drive your story;
- Map the turning points in your story, leading the character to resolving the conflict of the story;
- Demonstrate how the main character changes on the journey to the conflict resolution;
- Hint at the setting that supports the story;
- Describe how the conflict was resolved at the end of the story…
The greatest stories ever told share similar story plots…
Consider the Heroes' Journey, for example…
- Star Wars;
- Lord of the Rings;
- The Matrix;
- Harry Potter;
- Percy Jackson…
Each of these stories tell the story of a young man, who will overcome overwhelming obstacles to achieve greatness and save mankind from the evil in the world…
The plots behind these stories are mostly the same, but the final story is different as night and day.
This is what a great plot writer will give you…
The capability to tell an awesome story in your own personal way — in a way that you can make the story your own.
The Greatest Stories Ever Told…
Occasionally, we may opt to give away our book to find an audience for the stories that we tell…
If you have only one book in publication, that would be considered by many authors to be a fool's errand…
But, when we have created a book series, giving away the first book can be very profitable for us.
The goal is to attract an audience to our first book, and convince them to buy the other books in the series to 'get the rest of the story.'
When done well, we will be able to make the bulk of our royalties from the books that follow the first book in the series…
- Star Wars was produced in six episodes, generating $4,382,359,868 in worldwide sales;
- Lord of the Rings was made into a trilogy, creating $2,917,506,956 worldwide box office sales;
- The Matrix was also a trilogy, resulting in $1,000,989,142 in box office receipts;
- Harry Potter resulted in seven books and eight movies. Box office receipts created $7,723,431,572;
- Percy Jackson has so far resulted in two films, with the third in development. Its earnings on the first two films have been $426,285,499.
And this is why we should strive to create a series of books, as opposed to a stand-alone book…
Million Dollars Per Year in Book Royalties!
A friend of mine is publishing all of her new books in one of two book series… To date, she has published 19 books total in both of her book series… And now, just two years after she started writing fiction books, she is making a half million dollars a year in book royalties!
This proves a concept that most businesses rely upon… 'It is cheaper and more profitable to sell more products to existing customers, than it is to go and find new customers.'
Pre-made book plots are a great start for any book author looking for a great story to tell…
Pre-made book plots, assembled as a plot series, is what can give you the ability to create outstanding profits for your book publishing business!
We have hired the best fiction plot writers money can buy to ensure that we are able to provide you access to fiction plots you can use to create fiction novels that sell…
But, rather than asking our writers to create stand-alone stories, we have advised our plot writers to create a series of ten (10) book plots that you can use to create an outstanding story that you can develop into a compelling book series.
Each fiction plot includes between 2,500 and 3,500 words, created in the following format:
- OVERVIEW: This is the essence of your story and sums up what it is about in two sentences or less.
- SHORT SUMMARY: This section describes in greater detail the basic storyline.
- CHARACTER LIST: A list of the main characters (protagonist, antagonist, etc.).
- CORE CONFLICTS: The core conflicts your characters face.
- STAKES: What your characters stand to lose, and what is at stake for them.
- 10 CHAPTER OUTLINE: A step-by-step breakdown of each chapter with a short summary detailing what each chapter includes.

In the images shown below, you will see the first plot in the 'Cooper Brothers' historical romance plot series:
Ten boys were born to a plantation owner in Charleston SC.
Romance Novel Title Generator
The boys were coming of age as the Civil War erupted between the states. The older boys went into law enforcement, while the younger boys generally took different paths.
This series of ten stories follows the lives of all ten boys, from 1860 to 1879.
It documents the love affairs and weddings of the first nine boys, a few of whom who thought marriage wasn't in their future.
As the story progresses, the Cooper Boys always find themselves in the right place at the right time to build considerable wealth.
Two of the stories are prefaced on a mystery that must be solved. This allows the younger brothers to call on their older brothers in law enforcement to join the storyline.
In the last book, the oldest son, from the second generation gets married, after taking employment with the family's extended business corporation.
The women who join the Cooper boys in marriage are typically strong, mischievous women, who can typically hold their own in a bar fight or in sticky situations with the criminals of the wild west.
You will love these characters, as they are people who have a strong character, and they are committed to do the right thing, no matter the situation.

Our plot authors have a wide-range of experience in the fiction industry. All of our plot authors are published fiction book authors, with the exception of K.S. who has spent two decades privately writing plots for a specific published author.
K.S. produced plots for a professional fiction author, as her assistant, for more than twenty years. She has also started and facilitated two creative writing groups in her local community. In addition, she has also run summer writing camps for children, ages 7-12.

I am a talented developmental editor. Everyday I am doing this in my mind as I travel through life. I see stories and story lines in every random person I see.
M.H. has published 30 romance novels in the last decade. She lives and breathes romantic fiction.
Here is what she told me when I hired her:
I plan out every story I write in great detail, and I have also prepared summaries and outlines for co-writers.

They are all published authors in their own right, and they understand what it takes to tell a great fiction story.
F.A. recently told me that this program was 'the best thing to have ever happened to her.' She went on to say that her own writing has improved considerably as a result of her participation in this program, and she has been able to explore so many more genres than she would have considered doing before she came to work for us.
When I first met F.A., she was working on her second Young Adult Romance novel. Now she has eight full-length novels in her Young Adult Romance series. And this program has given her so much opportunity to explore other genres as a writer. She said that she had learned more in the past three years working with this program, than she had in four years of university training.

1x1 Roleplay Plots Romance
The hardest part it seems is that first step – deciding what story they are going to want to tell.
With this program, our members can decide in what genre they would like to tell their stories, then they can start reading the plots we have available in that genre and others.
Once they have selected the story they want to tell, they can and should adapt the plots we give them – changing the names of characters and places in the settings, so they can tell a unique version of the story concept we have given to them.
Here are some interesting ways our customers have used the plots we provide to them:
- One lady extracted plot #6 from a 10-plot series, then she turned that single story into a series of 6 books.
- One guy hires ghost writers to write stories for him. He writes stories in the Clean Romance genre, but he typically uses plots he finds in the Contemporary Romance and Mystery genres to work as the foundation for the stories his ghost writers create for him.
- One lady selected 5 plots in a series of 8 plots, then she built her own book series using the plots that she most enjoyed reading.
- One lady takes Contemporary Romance plots and converts them to Historical Romance stories.
- Another converts Historical Romance plots to Fantasy stories.
- Still another takes Fantasy plots and changes them up so that she can tell Science Fiction stories.
- One lady found her favorite series of fiction plots, and she took the characters from her existing book series and dropped them into the plots that she had gotten from our website.
- There is another fellow who takes the plots exactly as he finds them on our website, copies them to a Word Doc, then prepares them for his ghost writers. Once he copies the plot to a Word Doc, he does 'Find & Replace' to change the names of the characters, then he sends the plot directly to his ghost writers who write the stories he sells.
- Many folks just pick a plot series they like, then they start writing a book based on the first plot in the series. After releasing the first book, they take the second plot in the same series and start writing. Many people find that each of our plots are perfect just the way they are, and they use the general outline as we gave it to them to create their own books.
Through the Fiction Plots program, we give you an extraordinary assortment of fiction plots from which you can develop your own stories.
Our team, of very talented plot writers, has created over 300 full-length plots in 70 different series, in 24 different sub-genres.
Their creative work will serve you well as you go forward, helping to lay a solid foundation upon which you will be able to build your own publishing empire.
Question:Can I change the names of the characters and the setting where the stories take place?
Answer: In fact, we recommend that you do. When you are buying book plots, the goal is to get a story outline from which you can create your own stories. We strongly recommend that you change the names of the characters, the settings, and anything else you need to change to make these stories your own.
Question:Will there be additional genres covered in the membership site, beyond those listed?
Answer: Yes, when possible.
For the initial set of plots, we wanted to cover romance, historical romance, paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery.
The primary challenge for us has been first to find competent writers. The second challenge has been to find writers who are comfortable creating plots outside their chosen genres.
We give our writers great latitude to create the kinds of plots they think would be interesting to them. So, they often bounce between genres in an effort to explore the stories they would like to see told.
Question:How many plots should I expect to find in each plot set?
Answer: 3 to 20. Each series is being mapped out with ten chapters per plot, 3-20 plots per series.
Currently, two of our plot series are delivered in 20-plot sets.
Question:Will you offer 6-month membership options as well?
Answer: We won't be offering a six-month plan, but we do offer a Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly plan, and a Platinum option (one-time payment) at very affordable prices.
Question:What formats are the plots delivered?
Answer: All of the plots are loaded into the website as HTML pages. We have done it this way to make it easy for you to copy-and-paste the parts of the plots you want to take — be it the entire plot or pieces of the described plot.
As a result of requests by a number of our subscribers, we have also tried to include DOC and PDF formats for plot sets that have been completed. We haven't kept up with this part, but it is just as easy for you to copy from the web page and paste the plots into a Word document.
Question:What if you are creating plots in genres I am not interested in writing?
Answer: Most plots can be adapted to other genres, with a little bit of creative thinking on your part. Several of our clients do so on a regular basis.
One person I know converts contemporary romance and mysteries into Christian romance. Another converts historical romance into fantasy.
Question:How many plots will I get access to within this membership?
Answer: Right now, there are 310 plots (11-06-2018). More plots are being added as often as we are able to do so.
Question:How many plots will be available to me each month?
Answer: Everything you have seen previously will be available to you so long as you remain a member.
Our writers send in plots as they get them finished, then we will upload a stack of plots to the website as our schedule allows us to do so.
Some months we add just a few plots and other months we add dozens of plots.
It varies, because we give our writers the flexibility to produce according to the time they have available to do so.
All of our writers create plots for us, when they want to take a break from writing their own novels.
As a result, some months they will just produce 2 or 3 plots, in other months, they might kick out 20-30 plots.
Question:Why are your plots more special than those I can buy from others for about twenty bucks?
Answer: Most sets of fiction plots that you will find elsewhere are sold in packages of ten. I have seen those ten-sets sold for anywhere from $12 to $50 per set. All are within a single genre, but they are ten stand-alone plots.
Most of the plots provided within the Fiction Plots website are packaged as 'series plots', meaning that you can use them to develop a book series of 3-20 books.
Question:What about duplicate content? Won't I get banned from Amazon if I publish books written with your plots?
Answer: This is a non-issue for several reasons.
ONE: You will want to change the names of the characters and the name of the locations, to make the story your own.
TWO: These pre-written plots will most often serve as a spark for your own creativity. You will make changes to the stories to turn them into something that is more appealing to you. Some people take out scenes, add scenes, merge multiple plots into one, and divide a single plot into several books.
THREE: If you and I started with the exact same outline, both of us will absolutely create completely different stories. In modern storytelling, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson all were written with the same basic foundation — the Heroes' Journey. I think you would be hard-pressed to suggest that any of these stories were the same.
The bottom line is that no matter which single plot we take, all of us will derive a completely unique story from it. Our customers will not know that we all had a similar starting point, nor will Amazon consider our books to be duplicate content.
Question:Why don't you just use these plots for your own books?
Answer: I developed this program as a result of several of my customers asking me to help them find plots that they could use for developing their own stories, and more specifically, to help them develop a future book series.
I have been providing training and services to writers since 2001, so when enough people had requested something like this, I decided that I knew how to find and hire the right people, so that is what I did.
So far, I am hearing wonderful success stories from my customers about how this program has been able to help them produce more high-caliber fiction stories. It pleases me to hear such stories.
Myself, I am a nonfiction writer. I write awesome nonfiction. But to bring this program to life, I HIRED some really talented fiction writers to make sure that you will get outstanding fiction plots that you can use as the basis for your stories.
When I produce training for fiction writers, that is always written by a ghost writer.
I have dedicated most of the last twenty years to helping writers become the very best writers they can be.
And when I was asked to provide extra help to fiction writers, I took my skills for hiring great writers and giving them good structure and direction, and I applied it to this program.
This is an outstanding program that my customers continue to appreciate and value.
Question:How much money can I expect to make using your plots?
Answer: I am not the right person to answer that question. I have no idea what you will do with these plots, or how much effort you will invest into your books. I have no idea if you can even write a decent story. I have no idea if you will create a good title, an attractive book cover, or a book description that will convince people to buy your books.
There are simply too many factors to consider for anyone to estimate what you can earn as a result of your gaining access to these materials.
Question:What if I have more questions?
Answer: Send me an email at: support *at* fictionplots.com.
Be aware that I will respond from my global support email address at: support *at* thephantomwriters.com.
Question:What genres are you currently creating plots?
Answer: Half of our plot authors are creating plots in the romance genre, and the other half are creating plots in a wide range of alternative genres.

Ponca City, Oklahoma USA
There's no one way to plot a romance. Everyone has their own system of structuring. Romancing the Beat by Gwen Hayes is a popular one many romance writers swear by. I'm not great at following anyone else's mold. The way I work is making things up for myself, and finding the way I need to do things. Below is the structure I've come up with for myself in the twelve or so romance novels I've written. But I'm not necessarily telling you to follow it. This is one example. Go forth and search for yours!
When I plot a romance, I plan for not one, not two, but three main character arcs. The main characters–the lovers–are arcs one and two. And then there is the relationship. The relationship gets its own arc, as though it's a third main character.
The hero's journey plot structure almost works for the relationship arc — just replace 'the quest' with 'the relationship.'
1) Call to Adventure / The Meet Cute
Here's where the lovers meet. Where the seeds of their relationship are sown. There's both attraction and conflict. The groundwork for the potential to reach an HEA (happily-ever-after), along with enough conflict to last the length of a novel, is set.
2) Refusal of the Call / Rejection of the Relationship
One or both of the main characters are in denial about the attraction, or there's some external reason in their way, so that this cannot possibly work out. Here the relationship is still very much at odds. We learn the reasons why the relationship won't work, and the external plot reasons why they cannot be together. But also… there are hints that they can't quite stop thinking about each other, and something big is going to happen between them. It's usually a situation of 'they doth protest too much.'
3) Acceptance of the Quest / Giving the relationship a chance
This is the 'First Threshold' or the beginning of Act Two. For some reason, despite their attempts to stay apart, they're forced to work together, often toward a common goal, sometimes as a reluctant agreement to date. There's often some challenge that cannot be overcome without the other. They must accept some sort of relationship is developing, though they are still adamant HEA is not in the cards for them at all. There's still conflict and resistance to permanence and no mentions of love, but they must face the truth: in order to continue on their journey, they will need to work together.
4) Trials and Temptations / Three Dates
This is the first relationship development section. Usually there's a first date that happens here, and other challenges. I've heard Liz Pelletier of Entangled say there's usually three dates in this section, if there are dates, which not every romance has per say. But the lovers are together for a period of time, interacting in a get-to-know-you scenario demonstrating relationship chemistry in at least three major scenes. Each scene both deepens their affinity but also reaffirms the reason they cannot be together. It's a 'three steps forward two steps back' pattern.
5) Midpoint Crisis / I-need-you-but-can't-have-you
In many romances, this is where some major form of physical intimacy takes place. A first kiss, a first love making, a first uninhibited admittance of, 'I really like having you in my life.' There's an intense moment of believing or seeing a glimpse of how meaningful this relationship could become. But it's quickly dashed to pieces, often by one or the other getting scared by the growing intimacy and some external plot force tearing them apart.
6) The Road Back / Pulling Back Together
Something most likely in the external plot forces them back together for some reason. They're forced to work together, and the attraction is stronger than ever. The relationship development that had begun in the first half now deepens. Often their deepest fears are confessed, they're left vulnerable and open to each other, and real intimacy builds.
7) The Fall
They fall for each other, hard. There's usually another big moment of physical intimacy here, often lovemaking in a way that is meaningful. In romances where the couple has been engaging in casual sex, usually the love scene here is truly making love for the first time. They will separately admit they've fallen for the other, though not necessarily acknowledging it to each other. Sometimes one will declare themselves, but the other doesn't reciprocate for some reason related to their internal flaw or wound.
8) Dark moment / The Break Up
Unique Romance Plots
They're done. They're over. The relationship is never going to happen. Their lives are in crisis. They try to go back to their ordinary world, and it's a dismal fail. They're irrevocably changed by the other person. They're lost and miserable in their loneliness.
9) The Sacrifice
There's a decision made by one or both of the lovers. Their clinging to the fear of the wound/flaw is overcome. There's a letting go or sacrificing of the misbelief they've been carrying around this whole time, and giving up on the external plot reason for them not being together. The realization that whatever fear was stopping them is insignificant to their love for the other person.
10) Declaration
Romance Plots Generator
There's a declaration of love, a communion of the relationship. This is where the magic of the HEA comes to completion. It's usually at first met with some trepidation. This is their first big leap of faith and giving of their hearts to each other. The trust circle between them is complete.
11) Denouement / The HEA.
The romance reader has to have their denouement. They want a glimpse of the lovers in their new HEA world, to make sure that everything is going okay. There's usually a scene including friends and family, gaining an acknowledgement of the new relationship from important people in their lives. There's a renewed promise of forever.
That's not everything. There's so much more to it. But that's the broad stroke of what I'm thinking about when I plot the romance relationship of my romance novels. There's separate work that goes into each character's internal arc, and then there's the planning of the external plot as well.
