What can you learn about fiction writing from watching — and rewatching — Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Anything and everything about creating gripping plots, building three-dimensional characters, and weaving in themes that will speak to your audience long after your novel or screenplay ends.

In this book, story coach and novelist L. M. Lilly delves into each episode of the first half of Season Three of the cult TV series. She looks at how the writers construct gripping plots, arc characters throughout the series, and weave in themes and subplots that break the viewers' hearts. All of which adds up to stories that are still gaining new audience members decades later.

Each chapter includes questions to help you improve your own writing and storytelling by:

Crafting turns that spin your story in surprising yet believable ways

Weaving in themes that speak to your audience

Showing character growth and emotion through words, gestures, and small moments

Cutting to subplots at key moments for maximum emotional impact

And more

If you love Buffy, and you love creating stories – or just taking them apart to see how they work – this book is for you.
