  • #151. How Rowling Built A World Ripe For Life Or Death Conflicts (An Interview With Savannah Gilbo & Abigail K. Perry)
    Jul 23 2024

    Ever wonder how Rowling created such a fantastic, three-dimensional story world for her Harry Potter series?

    That’s exactly what you’ll hear in this week’s brand-new podcast episode! Join me, Abigail K. Perry, and Tim Grahl, as we discuss the world-building in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone—and what we learned from our analysis of this mega best seller.

    You’ll hear us talk about things like:

    • [02:38] How Rowling built a fantastic story world ripe for life and death conflicts (but in a way that’s age-appropriate for middle-grade readers)
    • [04:39] How Rowling focused on fleshing out the world-building details that mattered for book one—and introduced them to readers right alongside Harry
    • [08:18] How to think about your own world-building (spoiler alert: you don’t need to have everything figured out or perfectly mapped in your early drafts!)
    • [12:43] How Rowling made every detail of her world count—and how she used those details to hide important plot clues and encourage character development
    • [16:27] And so much more…

  • Bonus: How Rowling Used Plot Catalysts to Keep Readers Engaged (A Sneak Peek From My Book!)
    Jul 18 2024

    Plot catalysts make it difficult for a character to achieve their goals. If you’re writing an Action story, there are three main plot catalysts you’ll want to include in your book—a speech in praise of the villain, a deadline or ticking clock, and one or more set-piece action sequences.

    Tune into this episode to hear a sneak peek from my new book, The Story Grid Masterwork Analysis Guide to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and hear how Rowling used plot catalysts to keep readers engaged.

A Must for all Writers at ANY Stage

If you need tips or tricks for any part of the writing/publishing process, I can't harp on the "Fiction Writing Made Easy" podcast enough. Listening to the podcast is what made me feel prepared enough to actually start writing and take the steps needed toward finishing my book. I had the start of my idea way back in high school (nearly 15 years ago), and it wasn't until this year I decided to actually take action. So much free wisdom and templates that you can listen to while driving to work, while doing chores, or even just for fun because it's interesting enough on its own. I've binged the episodes over the past couple months and have never been so pumped to start writing!

Actionable and Necessary Tips

I recently discovered this podcast via a sale on Audible I was given. I had seen these on Spotify and thought to keep listening. It's totally worth it!

Savannah has terrific in-depth analysis on what can make your stories top notch. She is clear with every piece of advice, from chapter -by- chapter help to the business of publishing and it's ups and downs.

Keep up the good work!
