After many writers in my community expressed interest, I publicly released the story outlining and character plotting tools that I personally use to write my books, as well as templates for viral videos authors can use to build their reader bases. You can check them out below.
Proven Viral Video Templates for Authors (used to sell thousands of copies)
Proven short-form video templates for writers that grew my audience to 350,000+ as a teen author…
So you’re a young writer, and you feel like you’re not getting the attention you deserve on social media.
No views. No comments. No readers. Just silence.
I’ve spent the past few years building an audience of over 350k readers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube through trial and error alone. I figured out which videos fail and which perform. Now, I’ve turned those exact high-performing templates into a copy-and-paste resource for you.
The Ultimate Outlining Tool + Character Planner Bundle (Best Value)
Meet the bundle that streamlines both story structure and character depth. These two templates are designed to work together: one builds your plot from the ground up, while the other shapes the characters who drive it. You get a full outlining system and complete character-development framework, both built to support multi-POV stories, complex arcs, and layered conflict.
Below, you can see the components of the bundle in individual form:
My Ultimate Outlining Template for Writers
Meet your all-in-one story-plotting powerhouse. This template is built to handle the complexity of real storytelling with ample support for multiple timelines, shifting POVs, large casts of characters, layered subplots, and evolving character arcs. Pretty much everything is covered in this template, so it should be very easy to make a copy and customize it for your specific project. Once you have the story outlined, you can make use of powerful filters to instantly view only the scenes that include specific characters, plot lines, etc. Whether you’re outlining a brand-new idea or diagnosing gaps in an existing draft, this template reveals what works and what’s missing.
I created this for personal use and credit much of The Forgotten Colony‘s and Us Before Them‘s cohesion to how detailed the framework is. It takes some time to fill in, but trust me—it’s worth it.
My Ultimate Character Planning Tool for Writers
Meet your character-building companion. This template is designed to create characters who actually matter to the plot. Instead of collecting random traits, you’ll uncover the flaws that drive conflict, the history that shaped them, what your characters wants, and what truly stands in their way.
You’ll also explore how your characters interact with others, from who they foil to who most influences their development. This planner is really meant to make it as easy as possible for you to create interconnected characters. After all, people don’t read stories for obstacles; they read them to see how characters respond to obstacles. The more your characters’ paths are intertwined, the more opportunities for drama there are.
With this template, you’ll have people on the edges of their seats, cheering for the hero and waiting for the villain to get hit by a bulldozer.
