Currently Playing: How to Write Subtext (So Readers Can Read Between the Lines)

Subtext is what makes writing feel subtle, realistic, and mind-blowingly good. It's the hidden meaning behind what we say — the unspoken truth we find when we read between the lines. In this video, we're breaking down exactly how to weave hidden meaning into every interaction your characters have — with side-by-side examples so you can see (and FEEL) the difference between writing that tells and writing that trusts your reader to read between the lines.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
