How to Plot a Magnet Reader with Crystal Caudill

Cost - $17

Whether a pantser or a plotter, a strong story structure is the key to being published. Yet, creating a story without a muddled middle or an anticlimactic ending takes diligent work and a thorough understanding of story structure. Using the movie Shrek and a hands-on approach with M&Ms, Crystal will break down the four-part story structure (a variation of the Three Act structure) and teach participants how to apply it to plotting their story, whether a pantser or a plotter.
