A quick guide (only 52 pages & lots of white space) that covers the basic plot points on how she thinks the pre-writing process will help you write a better book. No new information & the info just wasn‘t that great.

She uses one of her own books as an example but calls it one title in one chapter but another title in a different chapter, which makes me question the value of her advice. (And neither title is listed on her GR.)
