What does it look like?
So far, most of the book maps that I have seen and created are in an Microsoft Excel sheet. That does not mean that is the only way you can create one.
What does it contain?
A book map contains at least the following elements:
Main Character Arc Development.
Timeline.
Plot Threads.
