AUGUST 7 & AUGUST 14, 2025 – Deluxe Two-Parter: Pivots and Payoff with Steven James
Your story’s pivot is one of the most important moments in your story, yet one that’s rarely taught. It will be unexpected, inevitable, an escalation of what preceded it, and a revelation that adds meaning to what has already occurred. Readers want to predict how a story will end, but they also want to be wrong—yet still satisfied. In this seminar you’ll discover how to develop pivots and climaxes that leave your readers stunned, thrilled, and blown away.
