Scene & Structure by Jack M. Bickham
A practical guide for fiction writers to structuring plot through the interplay of scenes and sequels: every scene sets a concrete goal, meets escalating conflict, and ends in a meaningful setback, followed by a sequel where the character reacts, frames the dilemma, and decides the next objective. It shows how to maintain cause-and-effect momentum, raise stakes, control pacing and viewpoint, and integrate subplots. Packed with checklists and examples, it helps diagnose sagging middles and revise drafts into tight, compelling narratives.
