Thriller Plot Twist Benchmarks + Thriller Planning Tips
I'm breaking down the spots in your thriller manuscript where you HAVE to have good twists--whether they are big gamechangers or subtle (but marked) shifts in the status quo. They are spots where all good thrillers have something exciting happen. After I go through these twist spots, I'm sharing three of my top tips for tracking your thriller plot and structuring and/or fixing your book.

14:07 90% issues & last page twists
15:16 Tips for thriller plotting

19:52 Story threading/cause & effect
