How to Create a Non-Fiction Book Chapter Template

Non-fiction books lend themselves well to working from a template for structure once you have determined who your reader is and what the hook of your book is. In this video, Julie Broad of Book Launchers explores how to create chapters and chapter templates. Starting with your book outline, you then work through the chapter hooks, and can identify how you want to set each chapter up.
You can think of each chapter as an idea, concept, or a step in the process, and you must find a hook (a reason the reader needs to read that chapter). If you're writing a memoir you might be sharing one element of the story that feeds into the logline of that book.

I read about each chapter needing its own hook in your Self-publish & Succeed. I went through each chapter in my #WIP memoir with this in mind. The “outcome of an outcome” really helped me focus each chapter. Thanks.

[@BookLaunchers]

I love that! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@MoniqueJoinerSiedlak_Author]

Great video. You have me looking at my outlines in a new light.

[@ArtistAllanWest]

A memoir as an online course. That was an unexpected idea! Hooray! And why not?

[@BookLaunchers]

Right?!

Julie..this episode is as constructively prescient as your early December event which established the value of a focused title aimed to challenge the author's intent. Today establishing a template will focus on how to refine those intentions into malleable pieces..or possibly chapters. Engrossed in a conclusion it's an invaluable oddity to snap on B.L.s for instant literary gratification. Just as an endangered PM Trudeau suggested; "illogical and inefficient" will no longer be working commodities among his Cabinet. Although several non-elected former MPs still show up for caucus meetings every couple of weeks... Thnx Dan

Brilliant ❤

[@rachelrobertson7353]

Love templates! I find that I’m creating them and spreadsheets a lot when the need or want arises-or just for fun! 😜 A chapter by chapter template/outline helps to break the book down into bite sized pieces.

[@BookLaunchers]

Thank you!! :) I'm not sure about the 'spreadsheets just for fun' part but hey ... everyone finds fun in different places. :)

Hello sir I saw your youtube channel and understand you are a KZbinr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total 44500+ subscribers and a Total of 300+ Upload videos of your channel. But I noticed one thing your channel has no subscribers and no video views. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow.
