Thanks Rebecca! I taught a course at an adult ed centre on structuring novels based on Aristotle’s three act structure a few years ago. It was aimed at children’s writers, but I hope to adapt it for general writers too. So many ideas, so little time!

I’ll be there for the novel series too Fiona!

I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far in your other series. You have a knack for breaking it down into manageable chunks. If only everything was so easy to understand. Thank you!

In the meantime, Sue, spread the word about the site! Thanks doll (a South African expression!). Three act structure is my forte’ darling, so I’ll be doing something on how to apply it to a novel structure as soon as I have time. I’m pretty busy right now with my short film and theatre script. I’ve also got some picture book ghostwriting to do, so won’t be much before March.

Glad to have been of service, m’dear! All the best with the novel. I’m considering doing a series sometime next year on structuring a novel; just need to find the time. Might see you then Fiona

Thank you Fiona your course has been very enjoyable.
It has made me think about my novel in progress.
I found the 4th session particularly helpful it made the show/tell thing really clear for me.
