Listen Later

Ever wondered how the pros polish that gripping thriller or heartwarming romance? Prepare to unlock the secrets of fiction editing with Siobhan from Motif Edits and our fiction lead, Rami, as they guide you through the art and craft of storytelling. We introduce the intriguing process of "murder boarding," aimed at empowering writers with constructive critique for their works-in-progress. Learn how to craft captivating novel openers, establish a compelling point of view, and choose the perfect tense to ground your narrative right from the start.

Experience the tension and thrill that comes from masterful dialogue and actions. Our analysis of a scene with high school friends Rosie and Hadley will open your eyes to the nuances of character dynamics and genre expectations. Discover how simple changes—like replacing a coffee cup with a soda—can enhance reader clarity and immersion. Dive into the world of contemporary romance with us, as we evaluate dialogue and tone to bring characters like Friedrich to life, debating whether sharp or soft language best captures reader attention.

In our final segment, we shift focus to the world of science fiction, dissecting a student’s narrative for insight into maintaining tension and clarity. We stress the importance of active, goal-oriented characters across genres, and caution against the pitfalls of passive protagonists. Plus, we explore the invaluable resources available at selfpublishing.com for fiction authors seeking to elevate their craft. Join us in this engaging episode of the Self-Publishing School podcast, where fiction takes center stage, and your writing journey gains a new, invigorating direction.
