This is the one you’ve heard about! After years of developing story structure to help guide students in Wordsmith Workshops' signature residential retreats, NYT-bestselling author Beth Revis is bringing her formula for story structure to an online class for the first time. With a variety of structure guides that can be used to either plot or revise a narrative, these open-ended interactive charts can be adapted to any high-concept novel. Rather than force stories into strict boxes, these guides help authors check their plots against tried-and-true focused structures that help ensure character development and plot pace.

Follow the entire four-part series to see how Beth develops ideas into novels in real-time through the examples she uses.

Every class comes with the handouts that Beth uses while instructing students that you are free to print and re-print at home. If you’d prefer to buy the handouts already printed and bound, the same ones are available in the Paper Hearts Workbook, available for purchase separately.
