Reading the EKG of Your Novel:
How to Use Internal and External Intensity to
Diagnose Pacing Problems, with Kristen Tate
On Zoom
1-3 PM
Kristen Tate is Editor of The Blue Garret. She works with authors who are ready to find their readers, providing the editing, help, and encouragement you need to get from rough draft to finished book. You’ll leave this presentation with a story spreadsheet template you can use to graph the intensity of your own manuscript so you can evaluate how well your internal and external arcs are working together, determine whether your novel’s shape matches the experience you want your reader to have, and diagnose the places where energy dips and readers might lose interest.
