Did you hear the news? My brand new book, The Story Grade Masterwork Analysis Guide to Harry Potter and the

sorcerer stone, is officially available for pre-order. 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 that's appropriate for middle grade readers,

built an immersive story world full of compelling characters

and opportunities for life and and I've put together a really fun bonus package that you can get your hands on when you pre-order

a copy of the book today.

To learn more and to get all the details go to savanna-Gilboe.com forward slash masterwork.

Keep in mind that whatever happens in these scenes needs to

tangibly affect the outcome of the story, your plot and your character's

development. It needs to alter the story's course of direction. It can't just be a flashy or exciting

distraction simply to keep the reader entertained. That won't work. These

set-piece action sequences must feel so integral to the storyline and the reader's enjoyment that they cannot be

edited out of the final product. 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.

I want to prove to you that writing a novel doesn't have to be overwhelming.

So each week, I'll bring you a brand new episode with simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement

in your writing right away. So whether you're brand new to writing or more of a seasoned author

looking to improve your craft, this podcast is for you.

So pick up a pen and let's get started.
