Avoiding the “Saggy Middle” with Editor Ashley Hearn

Middles are the meat of your novel, but for many writers, wading through it is like slogging through the Swamp of Sadness. This webinar is perfect for anyone—pantsers and plotters alike—who has struggled with crafting a tightly-paced middle.

Using beat sheets and examples from popular books and cinema, Ashley will show you how to avoid the “saggy middle” by plotting your story in 4 acts, as opposed to the traditional “3 Act” structure.

All participants will be invited to submit to Page Street Publishing with personalized responses guaranteed!

About Pitch Wars Webinars . . .

The Pitch Wars webinar series was developed to help writers at every stage of their careers. Mentors and industry experts will host webinars focused on pitching, publishing, developing craft, and more.

Pitch Wars is a contest where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions to shine it up for agents. The mentors work with their mentees for two months before an agent round. Learn more.
