Maintaining story tension across a series can be challenging, and the way we set up our characters, plots and settings will play a role in making sure the readers keep turning those pages whether you’re on book 3 or book 13. We’ll break down each of these 3 cornerstone story elements—plot, character, setting— and look at how your choices in each of these areas can be used to help create and maintain flexible, and durable story tension and conflict. We’ll dig into how to weave the various strands together in different ways, and tug on different threads at different times, to get consistently engaging results with each story you tell while still keeping things fresh and new for your readers.
