Across seven focused sections, you'll articulate your genre's reader contract, map the obligatory scenes your story cannot omit, analyze act-break patterns in published novels, chart your pacing rhythm against genre conventions, audit your subplot web for structural function, navigate subgenre variations, and build a complete resolution blueprint that closes every loop your opening pages opened.
Each section includes guided exercises with ruled annotation lines, deeper micro-prompts for extended reflection, and tools you can apply directly to your current manuscript or a project in planning. Formatted for A4 printing and fully compatible with GoodNotes for digital annotation.
