Why do some stories work and others don’t? The answer is structure. In this new guide from the author of the bestselling Outlining Your Novel, you will learn the universal underpinnings that guarantee powerful plot and character arcs. An understanding of proper story and scene structure will show you how to perfectly time your story’s major events and will provide you with an unerring standard against which to evaluate your novel’s pacing and progression.
Structuring Your Novel will show you:
How to determine the best techniques for empowering your unique and personal vision for your story.
How to identify common structural weaknesses and flip them around into stunning strengths.
How to eliminate saggy middles by discovering your “centerpiece.”
Why you should NEVER include conflict on every page.
How to discover the questions you don’t want readers asking about your plot—and then how to get them to ask the right questions.
