You may try Roger Parker's site as he often publishes many mind maps on organizing writing for books, articles and blogs. http://www.designtosellonline.com/mindmapping.cfm I'll also contact other writers for their input into our blog and templates for the future! Great feedback. Michael Bee, sorry to disappoint.

Instead of "How to write a book using MindManager" it should be "I did write a book using MindManager." Which template is the best to use to get started? I didn't see anything helpful about the podcast other than the host announcing that he used the software. That's it. This podcast was a disappointment.

It gave me the overview and thus the possibility to rearrange items until the end. The export to Word, a review and some small corrections cost the last 5%.

The easy way of going back and forth in large amounts of text is so much easier in a mindmap. It's also usefull that in one single view you can see what subjects need work.

A couple of things I do: - color-code each major section to indicate status of completion (RYG) giving me a pretty accurate view of how far along I am. - when writing the report, each key idea starts as a branch under the appropriate section. Only after I wrote the text related to that idea do I delete the branch. Hope this helps.
