Description

A plot twist gets people talking about a book. It’s what makes readers gasp aloud, tell their friends, and re-read the story after they’ve finished.

As a writer, it seems hard to come up with a great twist that readers don't see coming. But it doesn't have to be complicated! Let's look at the anatomy of a twist and how we can use proven patterns to add one (or several) to your novel.

In this lesson, we'll cover:

• Three strategies for writing a great plot twist.
  
• Common devices used in blockbuster stories, like red herrings.
  
• How to surprise and delight readers (without going overboard with an out-of-nowhere twist).
