Do your characters suffer from boring emotional arcs? Have your readers said your characters feel forced or inconsistent, or wondered why your hero and heroine love each other? Do you really understand the transformational character arc, conflict, or where motivation comes from? And have you ever wanted to know the actual mechanics of how to manipulate story emotions so you can produce consistent results?

Included in this book:

Why readers love or reject books.

Why backstory is important.

How to use a simple doodle to figure out what your characters will do, all the secondary influences on their actions, what needs to happen in the story, and how much word count you'll need to accomplish your goal.

How to scale conflict up or down to hit your targeted word count (or in other words, how to create conflict for one book or a multi-book arc).

How to fix character arcs quickly and easily.

How to get across your character's emotions.

How to understand why your character is doing something, and how you can fix it so they do something else, organically.

How the placement of an inciting incident changes the story (or one story, three different ways).

Lots of pictures.

Written in an easy, conversational style, Backstory, Motivation and Conflict makes it easy to understand the theory you need to write emotionally resonant books, each and every time.
