Drafting Notes - How to Write A Great Twist (Without Cheating the Reader)

from Page One - The Writer's Podcast

Watch as a full video episode on our YouTube channel On today's Drafting Notes, we discuss twists and reveals! Are they the same thing? What makes some twists land and others miss the mark? What are some example of good twists (some spoilers here, but we announce that in the episode!)? And do you always need a twist in a novel? Drafting Notes is a series in which one award-winning writer (Tariq) and one hopefully soon-to-be-published writer (Marco) discuss various writing issues as they occur to them!
