Since this episode I’ve started working with Ryan runs ads for his book marketing company Booksweeps. However, this was all about making books, and his software Plottr, which exploded in popularity since this interview.
In this episode, I talk to Ryan Zee and Cameron Sutter, founders of Plottr. It has become one of the biggest apps in the publishing space, but back when we did this interview it was just starting.
Plottr lets you easily arrange (and rearrange) your scenes, plots, and character arcs so you can quickly find your way to the end of your tale — no corkboard required.
Quickly outline your book with visual story cards Filter your timeline by characters, places, and tags Color-coordinate your storylines to keep them organized Flip the timeline to view it vertically or horizontally So, I have known Ryan for a long time. I used to use him for book marketing a long time ago, and we reconnected a few months ago when I ran my Online Writer's Conference.
He asked me if I wanted to have him on to talk about Plottr, and I was interested, but recently I've gotten DOZENS of messages about Plottr, so I figured that it was time to have him on and find out what all the hype is about, though if you're a fan of the show, you probably know this is much more than just a program pitch.

Why you shouldn't make your dream project first
