Great Scenes Sell Your Story
Scenes don’t just carry a story—they sell it. Readers decide whether to keep turning pages based on how convincingly each scene delivers tension, choice, and consequence. This course teaches the proven techniques of scene and sequel: how to build goal-driven scenes that force characters into conflict, and how to follow them with sequels that reveal cost, decision, and momentum. Mastering this rhythm turns passive storytelling into narrative propulsion. Agents, editors, and readers all look for stories that move. When your scenes earn their place and your sequels sharpen desire, your book feels professional, inevitable, and worth buying.
