Creative Writing: Chapbook Planning



  • What is your final idea?  Please explain in two sentences the theme and the form your writing will take.
I will create a narrative story with a theme of thriller and mystery. The story will be around characters named Lyla, Lucas, Travis and Justin and their newly discovered secret about their family.
  • Considering the form, how do you intend to layout your book pages?
I will include an image for every start of the chapter continuing with the narrative story under it.
  • How many pages do you expect there will be?
25-30 pages
  • Are you going to use images?  Are these your own images (illustrations/photographs) or copyright free images that you will source?  
I will be using images to enhance a section of the story. I may use my own and copyright free images
  • What is the plan of your time and how much you will need to spend on this?
I will spend approximately two weeks for writing, drafting, rewriting and with additional time into designing the cover, and searching images
  • What do you imagine the final book will look like? 
I imagine and hope the final book will look like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
  • Have you considered the cover/contents page/back cover with blurb?
As of right now, I have not thought of an idea however, I will start researching for inspiration for the front and back cover.
  • Drafting and Redrafting will need to be done? Who will you get to proofread your work?
Drafting and redrafting will certainly be needed and I will ask my friends to proofread my work as most of them are native in the english language
