Writing

Leveraging the Three-Act Story Structure

Stuck in the mucky middle? Trying to plot a story? Need some umph?


The three-act story structure is the standard that set reader expectations. Learn to leverage that knowledge for your creative purpose. And learn to speak the "industry language" while plotting, or mapping, your novel.

  • Plot Points vs Pinch Points
  • Context for each quarter
  • Placement of story arc events
  • Increasing stakes
  • Bookending the character arc


Date/Time: TBD

Revision

Mining Feedback

Beta readers have provided their input. Or an editorial letter arrived. Now what? 


Bring their (sometimes conflicting) comments with you. We'll sort through them as we go,  creating an actionable plan. 


Learn to weigh the value of comments, assess their importance to your project, determine if the update should be incorporated, plan what/how to incorporate the update, and create a comprehensive plan for manuscript revision.

  • Criteria for assessing the importance of comments
  • Finding the gold
  • Leveraging the weight of conflicting comments
  • Creating a path forward


Date/Time: TBD

Location: TBD

Industry

Crafting the Synopsis

You're ready to query. Query letter in hand. Only, the agent wants a synopsis too. 


Learn what the document is, how agents (and acquisition editors) use them, and what types you'll need. (Yes, you'll need more than one.)

  • Different types/purposes of synopses
  • Structure
  • Expected content
  • Weaving the story without losing the feeling


Date/Time: TBD

Location: TBD

Cost:  TBD
