Episode 008: Little Women, The Aeronauts, and Telling a Story With a Non-Linear Timeline

from The Kate and Abbie Show · host Kate and Abbie Emmons

It's no easy task to write a story with a non-linear timeline. How do you incorporate flashbacks into the story in a seamless way? How do you show your reader why the present events matter to the characters, because of what happened in the past? How do you pull off a non-linear timeline without totally jarring and confusing the audience? These are the big questions that authors Kate and Abbie tackle as they study non-linear stories (including Little Women, The Aeronauts, and more) and unearth the secrets to a well-told story.  Want to support the show?
