Let me be honest with you…

Most writers are making the same backstory mistake, and it’s quietly killing their story.

In this episode, I break down the one cliché I see everywhere that makes readers want to DNF the book… 

We’ll talk about why it doesn’t work, what it’s actually doing to your story, and how to fix it.

I’ll also walk through Project Hail Mary as an example of backstory done right, and why it works so well.

If you’ve ever struggled with when to reveal backstory, how much to include, or why your opening feels slow… this one’s for you.
