Publisher Description

Theme Is What Your Story Is Really About

Theme—the mysterious cousin of plot and character. Too often viewed as abstract rather than actionable, theme is frequently misunderstood and left to chance. Some writers even insist theme should not be purposefully implemented. This is unfortunate, because in many ways theme is story. Theme is the heart, the meaning, the point. Nothing that important should be overlooked.

Powerful themes are never incidental. They emerge from the conjunction of strong plots and resonant character arcs. This means you can learn to plan and implement theme. In doing so, you will deepen your ability to write not only stories that entertain, but also stories that stay with readers long after the end.

Writing Your Story's Theme will teach you:

• How to create theme from plot and character.
• Why every supporting character and subplot should enhance the theme.
• How to prevent theme from seeming preachy or "on the nose."
• What to consider in identifying the best theme for any given story.
• And much more!

Conscious mastery of theme will elevate every story you write and allow you to craft fiction of depth and meaning.
