Strong bones create strong stories. Build your Book Skeleton—and bring your story to life.

Most writers get stuck not because they lack talent—but because they lack structure.
Without a clear framework, even the best ideas collapse under the weight of confusion, doubt, and endless rewrites.

In The Book Skeleton, bestselling author and book coach Rea Frey will guide you through building the invisible structure that every strong book needs. Before you write a single word, you’ll design the "bones" of your story—giving you a clear, flexible blueprint to move forward with confidence, momentum, and creative flow.

This is not another overwhelming outline session. This is about creating a living, breathing skeleton that holds up your story’s spine, heart, ribs, and limbs—so you can finally start writing without fear or guesswork.

In this session, you'll learn:

• The 5 essential bones every book must have
• How to create a simple Movement Map for your story
• How to design chapters that feel purposeful, dynamic, and necessary
• How to stop second-guessing yourself and write with real clarity
• How to start strong and keep going—without losing your voice

You'll Leave With:

• A complete Book Skeleton template for your current project
• A Movement Map for your story’s beginning, middle, and end
• A Chapter Blueprint you can use again and again
• Your first 1,000 words written (or ready to flow!)
• A new sense of possibility—and proof that you already know how to begin

This workshop is for you if:

• You have a story idea but don't know how to start
• You've started writing—and gotten stuck
• You want to create a full book without losing creative energy
• You crave structure, but hate rigid outlines
• You’re ready to finally move from dreaming to doing
