Write Better, Author Smarter with Autumn Bardot

Novel feedback often can really help you make your novel better, but sometimes the advice just doesn't seem right. How do you know when to take the advice--even if it means a massive rewrite or reject the advice? This episode looks at the feedback dilemma many writers face.

A story must have stakes for the character, because without stakes it doesn't matter if the characters succeed or not.  You can have a great plot but if there are no consequences for the characters, then your story will fall flat.

Knowing, understanding, and embracing a specific genre no only helps you the writer create a better story, it's also extremely important to readers. And here are all the reasons why.
