The Importance of Plausibility in Storytelling

Today, Bianca, Carly, and CeCe chat with Jessica Hamilton, author of Don’t You Dare, while also critiquing listeners' query letters. They discuss Jessica's experience with going on submission and publishing during the start of Covid; examples of a successful depiction of anxiety in submission pages; the importance of starting a novel at the beginning, and not immediately jumping to flashbacks; plausible details in pages and breaking rules with intentionality; writing a so-called unlikeable protagonist; and receiving negative feedback from readers.Find us on our socials:Twitter: @TSNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyraInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_shit_about_writing/https://www.instagram.com/biancamarais_author/https://www.instagram.com/carlywatters/ https://www.instagram.com/cece_lyra_agent/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/TSNOTYAWWebsites: www.theshitaboutwriting.com, www.biancamarais.com, www.carlywatters.com and www.cecilialyra.comBookshop.org affiliate page: https://bookshop.org/shop/thes....hitnoonetellsyouabou information about Jessica can be found at: https://www.jessicahamilton.org/She's also on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jhamiltonwrites/<br/><br/>Our Sponsors:<br/>* Check out Wooga and use my code No promotion code/URL for a great deal: https://www.wooga.com/games/junes-journey<br/><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands<br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
