Join our hosts as they pull back the curtain on one of Indie Author Magazine’s most insightful articles: Scene and Sequel: Mastering Novel Structure for Success by Bray Lockhart. In this episode, Paige and Reed break down the scene-and-sequel framework—a foundational tool that helps authors conquer the dreaded “soggy middle” and keep readers turning pages late into the night.

Practical examples, flexible formulas, and actionable guideposts from the article will help both emerging authors and curious readers see storytelling from a brand-new angle.
