Flip the Script — Fiction Writer's Workbook for Subverting Tropes

About this tool

Inside this beautifully designed PDF workbook, you will find guided exercises that take you from mapping the anatomy of your chosen trope all the way through a full structural revision checklist. Each section builds on the last: audit your story's promise, invert your midpoint, scaffold your anti-beats, swap your character functions, write the delayed collapse, and then verify your subversion holds at the macro level.

Designed for novelists, short story writers, and screenwriters working in any genre — from fantasy and romance to thriller and literary fiction — this workbook gives you a systematic method for making the unexpected feel inevitable.
