This book will change the way you approach writing! Martha Alderson's Scene Tracker and Plot Planner tools have helped hundreds of workshop and conference attendees hone their skills, and now you can learn how to take the fear out of plotting even if you can't attend one of her workshops. If you only buy one writing book this year, buy Blockbuster Plots!
Melanie Rigney, former Writers Digest magazine editor

Martha Alderson, the 'Plotting Queen' introduced me to the front story/back story concept while I was weaving LOVE MADE OF HEART. This extraordinary teacher came through again, with her book! Just in time for me to finish weaving another novel!

Even the seasoned and super-successful writer will find this chatty but superbly planned book refreshing, stimulating, and sometimes even positively corrective. The abundance of white space and the frequent reminders make for easy reading. The appendices are worth the price of the book!

You do a fine job of explaining the aspects of scene and plot, and the book is geared towards the anxious writer, which I feel makes it unique. The Scene Tracker and Plot Planner are effective, straightforward methods of making the elements of story that can seem amorphous, concrete. It's a good diagonostic tool. Congratulations on producing a good looking, important book for writers.
Kimberley Cameron, literary agent.

Marvelous! Very helpful, practical, insightful, easy to use.

In my almost unbearable anticipation, I watched your DVDs. I think I shall watch them every week of my life from now on! [I'm only mildly exaggerating :o) ] I love owning a workshop I can go to whenever I feel the need for some motivation or clarification. Another reason I really love owning it is so I can share it.

I started watching the DVDs at about 4am this morning. You really are an inspiration. I'm very much enjoying your lessons. I'm glad you decided to put forth a video for your concept of order. I can see it's gonna work great. I just wanted to say you're awesome. I am grateful for your help and I wanted to thank you. Thanks alot. And good luck with all of your future projects. May your dreams come true. (Another satisfied writer)
