This bundle is ideal for writers who are looking for inspiration and guidance on how to write a novel that is well-plotted, well-paced, and holds the readers attention from start to end.
You'll learn:
- How to harness structure at a macro and micro level
- Different methods to visualise and map your plot
- How to pin down the characters and image that demand to be written to a narrative frame
- To develop a forensic view of structural elements (POV, setting, narrative structure and plot) to examine how these elements work together to set up big twists and keep the reader hooked
- How to orient yourself and navigate your own work as you write
