Summary

Is Structure the Hidden Foundation of All Successful Stories?

Why do some stories work and others don't? The answer is structure. In this IPPY and NIEA Award-winning guide from the author of the bestselling Outlining Your Novel, you will discover the universal underpinnings that guarantee powerful plot and character arcs. An understanding of proper story and scene structure will help you to not only perfectly time your story's major events, but will also provide you with an unerring standard to use in evaluating your novel's pacing and progression.

Structuring Your Novel will show you:

  • How to determine the best methods for unleashing 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.

Story structure has empowered countless bestselling and classic authors. Now it's your turn!

Good to learn the basics!

I was looking for "Techniques of the selling writer" but I couldn't find it. this in the other hand contains the same principles and techniques.

Great Book

Book could have done with the narrator telling the reader what chapter we're on.

i've bought all of her books and audiobooks, Shes amazing!

I love the way she presents stuff to us so simply, shes so intelligent and a great writer as proof of her other titles - highly recommend her character arc book, her structure book(this one) and her outlining one. Maybe check out her other material with only those three books i feel i have a bible and finally a shot at writing now i understand so much. Really recommended
