Did you hear the news? My book, The Story Grid, Master Work Analysis Guide to Harry Potter and the

sorcerer stone is officially available for purchase. This book is like a writer's study guide to how and why the first book

in the Harry Potter series works.

And in it, I literally walk you through the story on a scene by scene basis

to show you how JK Rolling included all the key scenes and conventions of the action genre.

Raised the stakes of the story in a way appropriate

for middle grade readers, built an immersive story world

full of compelling characters and opportunities

for life and death stakes,

and used Red Herrings to pull off an awesome plot twist,

plus a whole lot more.

I'm so excited to share this book with you and I've put together a really fun bonus

package that you can get your hands on when you order a copy of the book today.

One thing that drives me crazy about writing is that in almost every other art form we

separate performance and practice as two separate activities.

And in writing, we just smush them together.

So it's like, I'm going to learn how to write

while I write something I want to publish. That's like saying I'm going to learn how to play the guitar while playing a concert like that doesn't make any sense I wish more riders would stop trying to produce their work in progress and just become really good at the skill of scene writing.

Welcome to the Fiction Writing Made Easy Podcast. My name is Savannah Gilboe and I'm here to help you write a story that works.
