Overview

Authors talk about the different frameworks and structures they use to help their writing. These can be confusing for new authors - what are they and why should I use them?

On our panel, we have a diverse group of authors. Authors that have written for years and authors that have one book published. Non-fiction and fiction. Fantasy, historical fiction, and thriller. We cover the gamut and it is a nice perspective on the topic.

We talk about: Hero's Journey, Heroine's Journey, Save the Cat, Snowflake Method, and Three Story Method. Each author has at least one of these they've used, and most of the authors have used several. We discuss when it's good to use and when they don't work.
