Ep 030 Tips for SNAZZY Chapter Construction!
from The Girl and Duck Podcast · host Girl and Duck
Many writers get hung up on chapter construction. They think there's a formula or, worse still, they think publishers have a required approach or checklist. Let's bust that myth once and for all and get playful with our work! Herein some tips on how you might end your chapters in fresh and charming ways. I refer to one of my own novels in this podcast. It's a great novel if you want to see me actually practising what I'll preach. It's super easy to reverse engineer what I'm doing in that book—once it's pointed out to you. That book is Tensy Farlow and the Home for Mislaid Children. It's available in most libraries in Australia, or on Penguin's website. You can also buy it on Kindle and the paperback does still pop up on Amazon. ► Jen & Girl and Duck: If you'd like to subscribe to my museletters, yay! Click here.
