Beat-to-Chapter Assignment Sheet

This sheet bridges the gap between abstract story beats and concrete chapter structure. It helps you decide which beats belong in which chapters, how many beats a chapter can carry, and where major turning points should land.

By assigning weight to each beat and spacing them intentionally, you avoid bloated chapters, filler scenes, and rushed climaxes.

Best for:

• Writers who know what happens but struggle with structure
• Authors outlining multi-act novels
• Anyone who wants cleaner pacing before drafting
