Infographic Guide to Standout Plots

See exactly how hit novels work

Forget abstract advice. Get visual story maps that show you exactly how successful plots work.

Inside, you'll find three infographics (one-page visual diagrams) that work across realistic and speculative fiction to show you how:

  • 💥 Thrillers, action, and suspense makes readers believe your hero faces impossible odds but still has a shot.

  • 🔍 Mysteries give readers a puzzle they're dying to solve while keeping them guessing

  • 💕Romances make readers swoon while staying anxious the relationship might fall apart

These aren't simple beat sheets.

Each diagram tracks multiple story elements simultaneously to show you how everything weaves together to keep readers hooked.

Perfect for authors who understand the fundamentals and want concrete guidance instead of vague recommendations.
