The Passionate Plotter Guidebook Series
​A Self-Directed Writing Workshop
​Coming Late Autumn of 2022

The Passionate Plotter Guidebook Series is a self-directed writing workshop that helps writers along the path to becoming Independently Published Authors. 

Designed for writers from grade seven thru adult, each book in the series takes the writer on a deep-dive adventure into the five primary stages of the writing journey:
  • Book One: Beginning The Writing Process
  • Book Two: Building Foundations
  • Book Three: Crafting Characters
  • ​Book Four: Marketing Matters
  • Book Five: Publishing Potentials

Written in a highly accessible, casual, and conversational tone, each book in the series includes specific Reflection Prompts with writing space, to help you discover the ideas you didn't know were waiting.  As you work through the program, each chapter will enhance your understanding of writing fiction, non-fiction, memoir, and children's books.

The Passionate Plotter program provides an engaging and entertaining strategy that will support your publishing goals with practical instruction and step-by-step guidance inside a program you'll want to use again and again.

​What Readers Are Saying:
"The Passionate Plotter is an engaging and interactive workbook that breaks down the daunting desire of writing a book into manageable and purposeful tasks. Unlike many craft books that focus only on writing or publishing, The Passionate Plotter includes all aspects of the creative and business sides of penning a book and birthing it into the hands of eager readers. Beginning writers will benefit greatly from the explanatory chapters and corresponding worksheets to plan and author their first (or second or seventh!) book."

Send My Review

The only issue I find with this workbook is that it wasn’t available when I began writing!

Diana Kathryn has taken many lessons learned, as a writer, editor, publisher, and bookstore proprietor, and compiled them into a single volume.  This is an excellent source book, with outstanding worksheets for the new writer to build a sound foundation.  It could also serve an experienced writer as a review or refresher for the basics of a successful writing career.

~Dr. Michael L Schwartz, PE, PMP

"Every aspiring author (or well-established one for that matter) would certainly benefit from reading this book and applying the author’s hard-earned advice. The friendly, casual tone was given weight by the seriousness of the information presented and the power of the author’s obvious expertise. The interview questions, and highly detailed worksheets, push writers deep inside their character’s psyche. Striving to find what THEY would say in reply is very instructive and makes them come alive. After reading The Passionate Plotter, I am both encouraged and terrified by the awesome task of writing, publishing, and marketing my own books. With three genre-defying books only half done, I know that this guidebook will become an essential tool in helping me to carry these tales through to their proper end.”
