5 ESSENTIAL PLOT Points for UNFORGETTABLE Novels - for Authors

We're breaking down the essential elements of the three act story structure. In this video, you'll learn about the five key beats that every emotionally impactful story should have, whether you're writing mystery, romance, fantasy, or science fiction. This three act structure will keep you from getting stuck in the "muddle in the middle" or from spinning your wheels. Find out how to kick off your story, place impactful plot points, where to write the plot twist, how to build tension, and then wrap up for emotional closure. I use the book Twilight for reference to point out the perfect story arc. Don’t miss my live Q&A session on June 6 at 8 PM Eastern, where you can ask your questions about writing and publishing!
