Novel Plot Outlines

Updated June 2011

Dave wrote detailed plot outlines (5,000-15,000 words) plots for other writers to develop into novels. As Dave says, “They did the real work of developing the outline into a novel.

The Crisis of Empire Series:

An Honorable Defense. With Thomas T. Thomas, 1988,  Baen.
Cluster Command. With W. C. Dietz. 1989, Baen.

Newsletter #51
