WHAT IT IS: A free resource to help you think through the layers of antagonism in your story.
WHY IT MATTERS: Conflict is the key to a successful story. Without it, all you have is a collection of things that are happening to your protagonist, none of which carry the power to force your character to undergo change and bring your story to a satisfying resolution. And yet lack of conflict, or lack of clarity on conflict, is one of the most common problems I see as a developmental editor and book coach.
A successful story needs layers of antagonism to create and sustain conflict on the page. Whether you’re writing epic fantasy or realistic fiction, your story needs to be infused with it, at every turn. By giving your protagonist challenges to overcome, choices to make, and setbacks to bounce back from, you give your readers a reason to keep turning pages.
HOW THIS CAN HELP: This resource dives into the different types of antagonism at work in your story with questions and prompts that will help you clarify who and what is getting in your character’s way.
