Each section is summarized with a series of short questions to help inspire deeper reflection. These are:

THE OUTLINE – how to refine major schemes & subplots that make sense to the reader & also your protagonist.

THE SETTING – the art of crafting a sense of place & how to work with multiple locations & time-periods.

POINT OF VIEW – helping you to form the best character perspectives for your story.

CHARACTERS – the best way to choose your central character to drive the story forward & one in whom your audience will discover a gripping read.

CONFLICT – how & when to use struggle to keep the reader engaged.

ADDITIONAL TIPS – A final section that motivates the author to think differently to engage emotion & lose the reader in the heart of the story. Marsh helps an author to think outside of the box when faced with over-used clichés, and to deal with the pressures of deadlines and expectations.
