The Five Foundational Story Beats

In this talk, Sarah delves into the five foundational units—aka story beats—that (she believes) are essential to writing a novel that works. 

This presentation will address what these five foundational beats are, why they’re important to your plot and character arc, where they *should* ideally take place in your story, and provide plenty of tips on crafting strong beats with examples. 

These five beats are your story's building blocks; without them, your story can crumble. 

Whether you’re a plotter or a pantser, this talk will help you draft or revise a story with a strong foundation and will help you breathe new life into your plot points/character arc. 

An unmissable session for anyone who’s stuck, feels overwhelmed, or wants to improve their craft.
