Create great characters and a satisfying plot
Join Rachel Hauck as she presents the Story Equation, a simple, sure-fire way to create believable, relatable, and poignant characters—and a plot that carries them all the way to a satisfying ending.
At the heart of the Story Equation is one powerful question. When you discover it, your story begins to take shape naturally. Characters deepen. The middle strengthens. And the pieces you’ve been struggling with fall into place for a satisfying if not happy ending.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
- Create characters readers recognize and root for
- Build both the outer story and the inner emotional journey
- Fix the saggy middle without forcing plot points
- Add tension that keeps readers turning pages
- Craft an ending that lingers in the reader’s heart
The Story Equation has been used by award-winning and bestselling authors to create unforgettable stories—but more important, it enables you write the story you were meant to tell.
