Story, Theme and Vehicle Presented by Susan Meier
Have you ever written a book that was good, but simply didn’t seem good enough? Or one that wasn’t cohesive? Or one that should have been wonderful but seemed to fall flat? In Story, Theme and Vehicle, Susan Meier explains how knowing your book’s story type, story question, and the difference between its theme and its “idea” will keep your book focused. Learn the five easy steps to a synopsis and the four steps to a one-paragraph pitch.
