How to Plot and Structure Your Novel OnDemand WebinarThe plot of your book is the underlying structure of its story,the specific order and selection of events that reveal information about the characters and their circumstances to create emotional effects and thematic resonance for the reader. But how do you know you're choosing the right events for your story, whether they're in the right order, or if they achieve the ends you have in mind?

The plot of your book is the underlying structure of its story,the specific order and selection of events that reveal information about the characters and their circumstances to create emotional effects and thematic resonance for the reader. But how do you know you're choosing the right events for your story, whether they're in the right order, or if they achieve the ends you have in mind?

In this talk, editor Cheryl Klein will guide you through the principles that underlie traditional narrative plotting,a framework on which you can build all sorts of variations. You'll learn about the three main types of plot and how to braid them for maximum narrative efficiency and elegance. We'll examine who's driving the events of your novel, how plotting relates to character, where's the right place for the book to begin and end, and whether the stakes and characters are sufficient to keep narrative tension high the entire book. Finally, we'll discuss how to create an effective bookmap to see your plot on its own terms and be sure that every scene and event contributes to the whole.

Instructor Cheryl Klein has edited multiple award-winning novels, and she'll cite real-life examples and share notes from her editorial experiences to help attendees develop and expand their understanding of plot.

Please note: As Cheryl is a children's and YA book editor by day, many of the examples she uses throughout the webinar will be novels and books for children and young adults. However, the tools and tips she will share on plot/structure can be applied to any adult category of fiction (and even memoir).

What you'll learn:

  • The three types of plot and four elements of plot structure
  • What kind of plot you have and why that matters
  • Ways to establish and raise the stakes of your story
  • How to make every subplot contribute to the whole effect of the book
  • Tips for balancing character development and forward plot momentum
  • Practical techniques for tracking the progress of a plot in your book

Great price, fresh, good flavor. Will order again.
Size: 16 OZ
I took a chance, ordered 2, and was pleasantly surprised by these. Great price, and amazing flavor. 90% of them were ripe and ready to eat. Plump, good size strawberries. They for all healthy and moist as they should be, not one was dried out or starting to go bad. I will buy them again from Amazon now that I know they have quality strawberries to deliver. They were "durable" and survived the delivery to the porch just fine. Yummy!

They Have Flavor
Size: 16 OZ
Most of the time, these strawberries are fresh and great tasting. One of our orders was came with the "California Giant" brand. They were less flavorful and some had mildew. These later ones I'd give 2 stars (which actually asked to return them and received credit). Amazon is excellent with backing up their sales.

Everyone in my neighborhood loves these!
Size: 16 OZ
When we find an especially great fresh food product on Amazon, the neighbors spread the word. These strawberries area always all ripe (no green ones or rotten ones hiding in the bottom), and delicious. Great price, too. I use them in salads, smoothies, and fresh fruit snacks.
