A Story Success Clinic with Amy Johnson

tl:dr.


The next How To Write The Future podcast episode is up!


"How to Handle Backstory, A Story Success Clinic with Amy Johnson"


Listen, watch, or read the post (full transcript) here:




Hi Friend,

For every novel when I enter the revision, I inevitably cut the first 3 or 4 chapters.


Why?


Because I spent the beginning chapters ramping up the story, getting to know the characters, and edging sideways into the story problem.


If you have this problem, listen in or read the transcript.


🎧

In this episode:


  • I talk Amy Johnson through a critique of the opening of her story and suggest possible edits to enrich the readers’ experience

  • I invite listeners to sign up for a Story Success Clinic session to be featured in a future podcast episode.

The How To Write The Future podcast is for science fiction and fantasy writers who want to write positive futures and successfully bring those stories out into the marketplace.




Enjoy!


❤️


Happy Writing!



Best,

Beth
