You can finish your novel…
But to do it, you have to understand what kind of story you’re telling.
There are seven essential Story Types, each with its own distinctive plot form, character arc, theme, and audience expectations. We walk you through the essential elements of each Story Type in this seven page PDF download...
You’ve tried pantsing. You’ve tried plotting.
Nothing has worked. Your book still isn’t finished.
Story Type provides a path to the finish line.
Story Type helps you:
○ Meet the expectations of your target audience
○ Write a consistent story with a clear beginning, middle, and end
○ Finish—you’ll know what to add to your story and what to cut
