027: Top 10 tips for how to build a story for your book

Learn the top 10 tips for how to build a story for your book, whether you write fiction or non-fiction content, in this episode of Indie Author Weekly!  In this episode, you'll find out practical strategies for crafting a story from the beginning of your initial idea to the end of your work. This episode includes examples of both fiction and non-fiction, so regardless of the type of content you write as an author, you'll be able to apply these tips to your own work.  A great story includes some kind of an angle, or approach, that resonates with readers. Your job as an author is to give your readers a reason to pick up the book and start reading... and then keep them engaged throughout the book right until the end (and hopefully afterward, so that they keep reading your work every time you publish a new book!).  What are you doing to give your reader a reason to care? How are you capturing their attention throughout the story? This episode of Indie Author Weekly delves into these topics and more to ensure you build an awesome story for your book.
