Methodology & Planning: The Building Blocks of Writing a Book | Preptober

Rabata Cultural Center

Dive into a workshop that will teach you key skills about planning and organisation, allowing you to apply them to your book writing!

Preptober Workshops

Get ready to write your novel! Join our 4-week Preptober workshop series led by professional Daybreak Press editors. Master story fundamentals, craft unforgettable characters, and learn key organisational skills. Stop dreaming and start plotting!

You have a brilliant idea for a book—a world, a character, a message that feels urgent to share. But how do you get it from your mind to the page without getting lost in the middle? That daunting gap between concept and completion is where countless projects stall.This workshop is your blueprint. Join Fatema Hakim for a practical, step-by-step session dedicated entirely to the architecture of a book. We will deconstruct the planning process to a micro level, providing you with a clear methodology to organize your thoughts, develop your narrative, and build a writing plan you can actually execute. While the focus will be on structuring fiction (plotting, character arcs, and world-building), the core principles of project management, outlining, and maintaining creative momentum are essential for nonfiction writers as well.Walk away with a customizable framework to confidently start—and, most importantly, finish—your book!

Fatema Hakim is an academic entrepreneur living in London, and works as an Editorial and Publishing Assistant for Rabata's Daybreak Press. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Queen Mary University of London and an MPhil in English Studies from the University of Cambridge, graduating as a Medieval Specialist.
