About this tool

Spanning seven deep-dive sections, The Hidden Layer guides you from understanding the fundamental genre contract all the way to writing your own genre manifesto. You'll interrogate your protagonist's fit within their genre, excavate the biographical roots of every archetypal trait, fuse external stakes with personal desire, and learn exactly which conventions to honor, bend, or shatter — and why.

Designed in warm cream and ivory tones with generous annotation space, this workbook is as beautiful to write in as it is rigorous to work through. Compatible with GoodNotes and all standard PDF annotation apps, or print at home on A4 for a tactile writing companion.
