3 Acts vs 7 Points vs 15 Beats: Adventures in Story Structure

Learn why failure is not an option. It’s a requirement!

Stories we enjoy reading and hearing have a beginning, middle and end. Aristotle confirmed that when he made the three-act format in his Poetics, way back in 340 B.C. In the 20th Century, writing experts added to the crafting knowledge for popular fiction. Damon Knight at Milford workshops had a simple system called the 7-Point Plot Outline. Blake Snyder’s inspiration came from American cinema, but his 15-Beat System applies as well to successful fiction. See if these can help you hack your path to a good story — and learn why failure is not an option. It’s a requirement!

We hope to see you then.
