I wanted to take a quick minute to let you know that there is now an audio book version of 5 Secrets of Story Structure, narrated once again by the lovely Sonja Field.
I wrote 5 Secrets as kind of an unofficial sequel to Structuring Your Novel. You can think of 5 Secrets as a slightly more advanced look at story structure (although I definitely recommend starting with Structuring Your Novel to get the big picture first).
It’s a short book, just a little over an hour on audio. You can grab it off Amazon for just $6.95, and if you’re not an Audible member yet you can even grab it for free by signing up!
About the Audio Book

It’s time to notch up your writing education from “basic” to “black belt.” Learn five “secret” techniques of advanced story structure.
Structuring Your Novel showed writers how to use a strong three-act structure to build a story with the greatest possible impact on readers. Now it’s time to take that knowledge to the next level.
In this supplemental book, you’ll learn:
- Why the Inciting Event isn’t what you’ve always thought it is

- How to create the perfect Moment of Truth to move your protagonist from reaction to action

By the time you’ve finished this quick read, you’ll know more about story structure than the vast majority of aspiring authors will ever know—and you’ll be ready to write an amazing novel that stands above the crowd.
