They discuss the art of the premise and how you know if your idea is large enough to coax out a novel… or not. In the last section of this episode, they run through the beats of the novel’s Three Act Story Structure and apply it in an example of Bruce Holsinger’s novel Culpability. Enjoy a thought provoking dialogue that will make you feel like you are in a university classroom!
