If you're a new author, I'm hosting a free challenge - 5 Days To Plot Your First Novel. It runs 5-9 October 2020 and will be a lot of fun. If you'd like to take part, go to www.PlotYourNovel.com and sign up :)


What's this episode about?

This 7 point story structure is so named because it comprises 7 important elements that build out your novel’s story arc. 

Point 1 – Hook 
Point 2 – First Plot Point 
Point 3 – Pinch Point 1 
Point 4 – Midpoint 
Point 5 – Pinch Point 2 
Point 6 – Second Plot Point 
Point 7 – Resolution 

Many recommend that with the 7 Point Story Structure you have to start from the resolution and work backwards for this structure to be most effective. 

Mentioned in the episode: 

  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J K Rowling
