Beyond the five-act, the three-act, or the Hero’s Journey, how can you actually use structure to revise scenes and strengthen your book?

Ready for a big revision? Or plotting a new manuscript? Make it easier—and make your book publishable—with structure.

What happened may be interesting—but the choices you or your characters make when faced with obstacles are compelling. These choices anchor turning-point scenes, the key moments in your book that keep readers turning pages, where they discover new information and gain new insight with the people on the page. Structure helps us outline these moments, but it also helps us revise, by editing to make the scene fit the structure or the structure fit the scene.

We’ll go in-depth on one, flexible structure that works for both active and “quiet” books in all genres. Gain a clear understanding of five key scenes, and how each one propels the action and deepens the meaning of your story. Then we’ll live-edit participant work to show how a scene’s structural location tells us whether to revise for more tension or a feeling of release, whether a character needs more depth or to pass through more quickly.

Whether you’re revising or writing from scratch, you’ll create a powerful plot with engaging characters and a strong hook that pulls in agents, publishers and readers—and create a structural map to guide your own work.

You’ll receive the slides, and a workbook with structure worksheets.

This is a TWO-HOUR session, with 20 minutes of writing time in the middle.
