Mini Craft Guides
Short, practical guides designed to help you master one aspect of the writing craft at a time. Packed with clear advice, examples and exercises you can put straight into practice.
Your writing journey starts here.
Writing advice can feel overwhelming. One person tells you to focus on plot. Another says character is everything. Then someone else starts talking about story beats, psychic distance, and the three-act structure.
All a bit much, right? Right.
That's where The Foundations of Fiction mini craft guide comes in.
If there's no conflict, there's no story.
It really is that simple - and that hard. This mini craft guide takes the thing that scares a lot of new writers and shows you it's actually just tension - the gap between what your character wants and what won't let them have it.
Learn to spot it, build it, and use it with intention.
