This is K.M. Wylant and you are listening to the 48 fourthth episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

Before we get started today, I wanted to take a quick minute to let you know that my

ebook Five Secrets of Story Structure, which is kind of an unofficial sequel to Structuring

Your Novel, is now available on audiobook, narrated once again by The Amazing

Sonia Field. You can think of five secrets of story structure is kind of more of an

advanced look at story structure than what is introduced in structuring your novel,

although I definitely recommend starting with structuring your novel to get the big picture first.

It's a short book, just a little over an hour on audio,

and you can grab it off Amazon for just 695. And you're not an audible member you can even grab it for free by signing up.

Anyway I now hope you enjoyed this week's podcast.
