Summary

Shape Your Story Like a Pro

If you have a phenomenal story to tell but find you can’t quite make it flow or form in a natural, yet moving way, Story Structure will transform your approach to writing and make your novel a compelling and addictive read.

Crammed full of tricks and tips to help both beginner and advanced authors complete their books in an enticing way.


Get Your Acts Together!

Each chapter is dedicated to one aspect of story structures, and begins with a 9-Step Process to dividing up your tale; which includes:

STEP ONE: The First Act – Introducing characters & what is at stake

STEP TWO: The First Major Plot Point – How to leave readers wanting more

STEP FIVE: Second Half of the Second Act – The need to support the protagonist

STEP SEVEN: Third Act – Protagonist is forced to face the enemy before being readyMarsh uses examples to drive home how developing a strong story structure is important to help maintain focus, enrich plot ideas and provide a bird’s-eye view of whether your novel is working.


Tips from Experienced Authors

The final chapter gives a look behind-the-scenes at the thinking of real authors and their recommendations regarding whether to adopt traditional structures for your genre or research new ones, how and when to modify a structure template, and the ways to hide structure in your writing. Story Structure is an indispensable guide for serious authors wanting write professionally.
