Go from idea/hook to a plot arc that works and has everything your novel needs to succeed: turning points, rising stakes, and character choices that drive the plot forward.
Story Structure Summer School shows you how to…
Structure your novel for narrative drive. You will create a structure for your novel in progress/revision that will give it shape and make sure that it hits all the required plot points for good storytelling, raises the stakes, and forces characters to choose.
Story Structure Summer School is not a silver bullet. You still have to do the work.
