"Character Depth Won't Save Your Novel—But This Pattern Will"
Details
You think deep characters will carry your story. They won't—not without the pattern that makes readers care.
In this session, you'll learn how every story establishes three things in Act 1: the setting, the event that draws characters together, and what each character wants.
This isn't about backstory or personality quirks. It's about answering the questions readers need answered to stay invested.
I'll show you the pattern found in every story, experience, and thought—the one that makes your opening work.
Whether you're drafting or revising, this changes how you start.
Bring your manuscript. Let's fix your opening.
