Summary

What makes a story interesting (or not very interesting) aren’t the details of the story itself; it is how the author chooses to share those details. A simple story can be riveting when it’s given the right structure; and on the contrary, even a salacious story can be boring when it doesn’t have a strong shape. In this episode, you’ll learn exactly what makes your story interesting so you can hook a reader from start to finish.
