Plot Beats Aren't Emotion: How to Make Readers Feel the Story [Ep 354]
What happens when everything goes wrong for your character at once? Her father may be dead. Her childhood home has burned down. Her relationship is falling apart. Her boyfriend turns out to be a literal monster. Then he tries to kill her. In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins works with first-time novelist Layne Johnson on a chapter from her portal fantasy, The Fairy King, and explores a deceptively difficult writing problem: How do you make huge plot events feel emotionally huge? Layne's protagonist, Marcy, has already had a terrible day when the chapter begins. She has narrowly survived an encounter with a creature from Irish mythology, learned that her father is presumed dead, and is trying desperately to get home to her family. She has been holding herself together. This is the chapter where everything finally breaks. But Jeff points out that something is missing. The plot is delivering enormous emotional events. The prose is moving through them quickly. And that means the reader may understand that these moments are important without actually experiencing their emotional weight. That leads to a discussion about the difference between plot beats and emotional beats. Calling someone Marcy's boyfriend tells the reader what the relationship is. It does not automatically make the reader feel the relationship. Having that boyfriend suddenly reveal himself as a monster creates a surprising plot twist. It does not automatically make the betrayal emotionally devastating. For those moments to land, the reader needs to experience Marcy's relationships, reactions, confusion, fear, anger, and physical responses as the scene unfolds. Jeff and Layne explore how to do that on the page. They talk about: how dialogue can keep an emotional scene immediate rather than reflective why prose can sometimes pull the reader away from an intense moment how to build an emotional outburst instead of jumping directly to it why a character can approach a breaking point, pull back, and then finally explode later how to use shorter dialogue exchanges to increase intensity why major revelations need space around them how internal and external body language help readers experience emotional transitions how contrasting body language between characters can increase tension why a betrayal works better when the reader has first seen the relationship when it was good how to move a character from confusion to realization to anger when to keep a character in fight-or-flight rather than letting them stop and reflect and why action scenes need emotional choreography as much as physical choreography. As Marcy realizes that Ryan has been lying to her, Jeff encourages Layne to slow each revelation down. Ryan knows about the Fairy King. Ryan knew the creature from the night before was real. Ryan intentionally made Marcy question herself. Her father's disappearance may somehow be connected to her. And finally, the boyfriend she thought she knew physically transforms into something terrifying. Each revelation changes Marcy. And each change needs enough space for the reader to change with her. The conversation then moves into the chase and fight sequence. Here the challenge becomes maintaining Marcy's terror while still keeping the physical action clear. Jeff and Layne discuss treating the action almost like dialogue: one character acts another responds the balance of power changes someone acts again. That back-and-forth allows the reader to follow the fight while remaining connected to Marcy's emotional experience. Jeff also pushes Layne to keep Marcy inside fight-or-flight. This is not the moment for her to calmly consider whether the monster attacking her is still somehow the boyfriend she loved. She is trying to survive. Reflection comes later. After the fight, however, the accumulated emotion finally needs somewhere to go. Marcy has been holding everything together throughout the chapter. So instead of immediately calming down when she is rescued, Jeff suggests allowing her to finally explode. Her father is dead. Her home is gone. Her boyfriend was a monster. She has nearly been killed. She is bleeding. She has no idea what is real anymore. Only after that outburst can the adrenaline begin to disappear and the emotional crash take over. The larger lesson is simple: Big events do not automatically create big emotions. Writers create emotional impact by giving readers enough time, interaction, body language, dialogue, and reaction to experience those events alongside the character. Sometimes the answer isn't adding another twist. It's slowing down the one you already have. Because if your character's entire world just changed,

How Do You Market a Book You Didn't Write to Market? [WWR ep 7]
What do you do when you've written the book you wanted to write, and then realize you have no idea what genre it belongs in? In Episode 7 of Write, Wrong, Repeat, JP Rindfleisch IX, Tom Holbrook, Crys Cain, Holly Lyne, and Jeff Elkins tackle a problem a lot of writers discover only after the book is finished: How do you market something you didn't write to market? The group talks about the tension between writing creatively and thinking strategically about publishing. Because "this book is unlike anything you've ever read" might sound exciting to the author. But to readers? It often means they have no idea whether the book is for them. So how do you find the audience? The group discusses looking for overlap with established genres, experimenting with positioning, identifying the tropes and images readers respond to, and finding modern comparison titles that can help you understand where your book belongs. Sometimes the answer isn't finding the perfect genre label. It's figuring out what readers already love inside your book. Maybe it's family secrets? Witches? A magical inn? Witty banter? A strange academy? A dysfunctional family? A mystery? Those recognizable elements can give readers a doorway into something that doesn't fit neatly into a category. The group also talks about why marketing isn't permanent. You can change the cover, the language, the tropes you emphasize, the comparison titles, and keep testing until you find the readers who respond. Then the conversation shifts into the group's monthly wins, losses, experiments, and plans. Tom talks about a profitable BookBub promotion, growing reviews, upcoming releases, and cutting publishing expenses by taking a hard look at subscriptions and software he no longer needs. Holly shares the challenge of maintaining her writing schedule while dealing with limited working time, her progress on a new F1 romance, and an impulsive decision to create a special edition that unexpectedly led to something much bigger: a launch party where a real cocktail bar will be transformed into a location from her novel. Jeff shares the results of an NRDS BookBub promotion that generated thousands of downloads and increased sales and Kindle Unlimited reads across the series. He also talks about delaying Mojo and Mayhem's Amazing Race to add original illustrations, studying bestselling books before choosing the direction of his next series, rethinking his fiction brand, experimenting with TikTok, and deciding whether to get more serious about direct sales. Crys talks about keeping income steady through an aggressive translation schedule, the growing complexity of international publishing, changes around Kindle subscription programs, and the less glamorous side of running an author business: banking, payments, accounts, and administrative headaches. JP shares one of his strongest direct-sales periods, continued growth through TikTok Shop, Amazon ads that are currently producing a positive return, rapid newsletter growth through BookFunnel, and plans for a Kickstarter special edition of The Alchemist Baker. He also shares an important TikTok lesson: You do not need to constantly invent new content. Sometimes an old video that has already been posted repeatedly suddenly takes off and sells books. The group also digs into: how to identify the tropes already hiding inside your manuscript why comparison authors matter how to balance creativity with commercial strategy why your first book probably shouldn't carry the weight of your entire career BookBub promotions and series read-through special-edition production costs pricing special editions for profit BookVault and international shipping TikTok Shop TikTok Lives reusing social media content newsletter growth and pruning inactive subscribers direct sales Kickstarter translations subscription creep and the endless experiments required to build an indie author business. As always, nobody has the one perfect answer. They're simply trying things, watching what happens, keeping what works, and changing what doesn't. Because sometimes the book comes first, and the market comes later.

How to Co-Write a Book Without Ruining the Partnership [ep 353]
Should you write a book with another author? Co-writing can give you a creative partner, new skills, shared expertise, accountability, and sometimes even faster production. It can also give you arguments, money problems, creative frustration, messy breakups, and a book that never gets finished. In Episode 353 of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins hosts a panel of experienced indie authors to talk about what co-writing actually looks like behind the scenes. The panel includes Crys Cain, Emma Alisyn, A.B. Cohen, and Zach Bohannon—writers who collectively have extensive experience with co-written novels, shared pen names, multi-author series, and long-term creative partnerships. They talk about how they first found co-writers, why they decided to collaborate, what made certain partnerships successful, and why others fell apart. One of the first myths they tackle is the idea that two writers automatically means twice the speed. Sometimes co-writing can increase production. Sometimes it actually slows everything down. The real question is whether both writers have the same goals. The group discusses how different partners can bring completely different strengths to a project. One writer may be stronger with action. Another may excel at emotional scenes. One may bring professional or life experience the other writer does not have. And sometimes working with another author forces you to develop skills you would never have developed on your own. But successful collaboration requires something else: the ability to let go of ownership. The panel talks about the importance of recognizing that a co-written book is no longer "my story" or "your story." It becomes our story. That means learning how to disagree, how to give and receive edits, how to protect each writer's voice, and how to make decisions when two people genuinely want different things. The conversation also gets into the harder side of collaboration. What happens when a co-writing relationship stops working? What happens when one writer feels ignored? What happens when resentment builds but nobody talks about it? Crys shares an experience where a collaboration became so stressful that it began affecting her health, eventually forcing the authors to divide up their books and end the partnership. The panel explores: how to choose a co-writer why friendship does not automatically make someone a good creative partner why starting with a short story can be a smart way to test compatibility how ego can destroy a collaboration why communication problems often become creative problems the value of having one person act as the project lead how shared goals matter more than writing speed how co-writing can help writers develop new skills how writers can preserve their individual voices inside a shared project what happens when collaborators disagree about story direction how to handle royalties and publishing accounts whether co-written books should live under an LLC how income can be split through publishing platforms what happens to the books if the partnership ends and why every co-writing relationship should have a contract A.B. compares a co-writing contract to a prenup. You may trust the person completely. You may be great friends. You may assume you will always agree. But a good agreement protects both writers by answering difficult questions before those questions become emergencies. Who owns the characters? Who controls the publishing account? How is income divided? What happens if one writer wants to leave? What happens if one author dies? Can one writer continue the series without the other? Who controls translations, audiobooks, or other rights? Those conversations may feel uncomfortable at the beginning. They become much more uncomfortable when money and finished books are involved. The panel's advice for writers considering collaboration is surprisingly simple: Start small. Be clear about what you want. Choose your partner carefully. Talk about the uncomfortable stuff early. And put the agreement in writing. Because the best co-writing partnerships are not built simply on friendship. They are built on trust, communication, compatible goals, and a shared willingness to make the story more important than either writer's ego.

How to Write High-Intensity Scenes Without Losing the Reader [ep 352]
How do you write a scene where everything is going wrong at once—without losing the reader in the chaos? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with author Carol Francis to work through an ambitious work in progress. Carol's protagonist, sixteen-year-old Ella, is already carrying the trauma of her father's death and anxiety about the heart condition she inherited from him. Then a situation involving her friend Marianne begins to spiral. What starts as confusion quickly grows into fear, reckless driving, the revelation that Marianne has been abused, a confrontation in a driveway, multiple characters joining the fight, a gun, and eventually police and an ambulance arriving on the scene. It is a lot for one sequence to carry. Which makes it a perfect opportunity to talk about how writers control emotional intensity. Across two coaching conversations, Jeff and Carol break the sequence apart and examine how each emotional beat builds on the one before it. One of the central tools is a simple pattern: trigger internal response external response Something happens outside the POV character. The character experiences it internally. Then the character does something. That order can change depending on the moment, but understanding those three pieces gives the writer control over the speed and intensity of an emotional reaction. Jeff and Carol explore: how to increase the emotional velocity of a scene how to make a sudden reveal feel bigger when to use internal thought and when to let a reflexive reaction happen first why skipping an internal response can intentionally make a moment feel smaller how to sustain tension after a major emotional spike why repeated escalation needs increasingly powerful triggers how reflective inner thought can slow down an action sequence where reflection belongs when the scene is moving quickly how physical responses help ground fear and panic and why a character often needs an adrenaline crash after the danger passes The conversation then moves into the mechanics of writing a large fight scene. When several characters are yelling, moving, attacking, retreating, protecting one another, and reacting to new threats, it becomes easy for the reader to lose track of who is doing what. Jeff suggests looking at physical action in a different way: Action is dialogue. A punch is a statement. A shove is a response. Someone stepping between two people is an interruption. A character backing away is an answer. Seen that way, a fight scene begins to operate much like a complicated conversation. One character acts. Another responds. Someone else interrupts. The balance of power changes. Then the next exchange begins. Jeff and Carol discuss: how to write physical conflict as a series of exchanges why every major action needs reactions from the other characters how to manage a large cast during an action sequence when to pause and remind the reader where everyone is how body language can establish authority, fear, or courage how to build a character's "hero moment" why characters should not accidentally de-escalate a scene that is supposed to be intensifying how to keep dialogue short and fast during physical conflict and how to bring the emotional energy back down once the danger has passed The larger lesson is that a chaotic scene should never feel chaotic to the writer. The characters may be overwhelmed. The reader may feel frightened, tense, or unsure what will happen next. But underneath that experience, the author has to remain in control. Every trigger matters. Every reaction matters. Every exchange changes the scene. And when physical action, dialogue, inner thought, body language, and emotional escalation all work together, even a complicated fight can remain clear, intense, and deeply connected to the character experiencing it. Because the goal isn't simply to make the scene bigger. It's to make the reader feel every step of the escalation.

Why Readers Aren't Connecting with Your Main Character with Liz Woodiwiss [ep 351]
Why do some characters grab us almost immediately while others never quite come alive? You can have an exciting plot. You can have beautiful worldbuilding. You can have a character you know intimately. And readers can still say, "I just don't connect with them." In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with developmental editor Liz Woodiwiss to explore what she calls emotional ignition. It is the moment when a reader stops merely being curious about a story and becomes emotionally invested in a character's experience. Liz's interest in the subject began with her own novel. After finishing a massive first draft and beginning the revision process, she started getting an uncomfortable piece of feedback from alpha readers. They liked the story, they were interested in what was happening, but they weren't connecting with her main character. Then her husband gave her an even more painful diagnosis: the novel sometimes felt like reading National Geographic. That sent Liz down a year-long study of reader connection, showing versus telling, point of view, emotional engagement, and what actually makes a character feel alive on the page. Along the way, she began developmental editing, working through dozens of novel openings and several full manuscripts, and started noticing the same problem over and over again. Writers were trying very hard to make readers care, but caring cannot simply be demanded. Readers need evidence. They need access to a specific human experience that allows them to form an attachment for themselves. That is where emotional ignition begins. Jeff and Liz explore the difference between hooking a reader intellectually and engaging them emotionally. An intriguing opening line can create curiosity. An exciting event can create momentum. A dangerous situation can create tension. But none of those automatically creates attachment. To become emotionally invested, the reader needs access to the person experiencing those events. The conversation explores: why knowing your character deeply does not guarantee that the reader knows them the difference between the "book in your head" and the book actually on the page why authors often struggle to see missing emotional context in their own work how developmental editing can expose the mechanics behind reader connection why starting with action does not necessarily create emotional investment how quickly writers should introduce a character's vulnerability, wound, or potential for growth why readers need to feel as though they have a role in the character's journey how a character's attention reveals what matters to them why interiority gives readers privileged access to a character how memories, judgments, expectations, and associations build emotional intimacy why physical embodiment helps readers feel emotions instead of merely understanding them how relationships reveal who a character is why even an antihero needs meaningful connections to the world around them how setting becomes emotionally meaningful through the character's perception and how character voice distinguishes one fictional person from every other character a reader could follow Jeff and Liz also discuss why novels possess emotional tools that visual media cannot use in quite the same way. Film can give us actors, music, camera movement, and performance. Fiction can give us direct access to another person's inner world. We can know what they notice. What they remember. What they fear. What their body feels. What assumptions they make. What they care about. And what they refuse to admit even to themselves. That access creates vulnerability between the character and the reader. And vulnerability creates connection. Ultimately, emotional ignition is not about finding one perfect trick for making readers love a character. It is about combining a series of craft tools to create the conditions where emotional attachment becomes possible. Because the goal isn't simply to make readers understand what happens to your character. The goal is to make them feel like they are experiencing it with them.

How to Slow Down Emotional Moments So Readers Can Feel Them [ep 350]
Are your characters changing emotionally faster than your readers can follow? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with author Hazel Behrens to work through a scene from her novel and examine one of the trickiest parts of writing emotion: How much space does an emotional change need? Hazel is writing a novel about Liz, a woman struggling with the death of her only child. Years after the loss, Liz has buried herself in research, family history, and familiar routines as a way of avoiding the grief she still has not fully faced. Hazel knows how to create emotional material. Her concern is that because she knows the story and the characters so well, she sometimes moves through emotional moments too quickly, leaving the reader behind. That leads Jeff and Hazel into a conversation about the velocity of emotion. Some emotional changes happen slowly: a character drifts from one feeling into another through a series of small moments. Other emotional changes happen all at once: something happens, and suddenly the character is somewhere completely different emotionally. Those two kinds of changes need to be handled differently. Jeff introduces a simple framework for understanding those moments: trigger transition response Something creates the emotional movement. The character has to move through that change. Then we see what the new emotion causes them to do. For a small emotional shift, the trigger might be nothing more than a thought. For a major emotional shift, the trigger (and the space surrounding it) usually needs to be larger. Jeff and Hazel explore: how to recognize when an emotional transition is happening too quickly, why emotional changes need a clear trigger, how the size of the trigger should match the size of the emotional shift, when a single line of inner thought can smooth out a transition, how body language communicates emotion more powerfully than explanation, why dialogue is more than characters simply speaking to one another, how a character can be "in dialogue" with an object, a memory, an email, or even someone who is no longer present, why interaction helps ground the reader in the present moment, how formatting and paragraph structure can change the emotional distance of a scene, how dialogue, body language, and internal thought can work together, and how giving an emotional moment just a little more room can dramatically increase its impact. The conversation also looks at the relationship between form and emotion. Longer reflective passages can create distance and make the reader feel as though they are inside a character's thoughts. Dialogue and physical interaction bring the reader closer to the immediate moment. That means writers can use the shape of the scene itself to mirror a character's emotional journey. As Liz begins trapped inside her grief, the writing can feel more inward and reflective. As she begins reconnecting with the people around her, the scenes can become more grounded, active, and interactive. Jeff and Hazel also examine places where Hazel is already doing this particularly well, including the way food, family relationships, and repeated interactions with Liz's husband can become markers of her emotional progress. The lesson is not that every emotional moment needs pages of reflection. Sometimes the fix is one sentence. Sometimes it is one more exchange of dialogue. Sometimes it is simply allowing the character to react before the story moves on. Because if the character changes emotionally but the reader never has time to experience that change, the moment won't land. The writer already knows how the character feels. The job is to make sure the reader gets there too. For more on the craft of writing, check out DialogueDoctor.com

BookBub, TikTok, Translations & Kickstarter: An Indie Author Roundtable [Write Wrong Repeat Ep 6]
What's actually working for indie authors right now? What are they actually trying? And what is producing results? In this episode of Write, Wrong, Repeat, JP Rindfleisch IX, Tom Holbrook, Crys Cain, Jeff Elkins, and Holly Lyne get together for another brutally practical check-in on their writing careers and author businesses. Everybody brings something different to the table. Crys is continuing to push into translated editions, experimenting with different distribution options after changes at KDP, and using regular free promotions to support sales across a growing catalog. Tom has a BookBub Featured Deal sending tens of thousands of readers into his cozy mystery series and gets into what happens after the free downloads start rolling in: sell-through, Kindle Unlimited reads, reviews, reader magnets, and whether a huge promotion actually translates into long-term readers. Holly reports back from her first in-person event under her pen name, where she sold out of books and saw an incredible conversion rate among readers who stopped at her table. She also talks about special editions, reader magnets, BookFunnel promotions, Publisher Rocket, and the constant challenge of deciding which marketing tools are actually worth paying for. Jeff talks about launching NRDS Season 2, the strange emotional crash that can follow publishing a book, balancing fiction with developmental editing and the Dialogue Doctor, and experimenting with TikTok as both an author and an editor. And JP has been testing just about everything. He talks about selling nearly ninety books at a live event, using extremely clear signage to attract exactly the right readers, planning a special-edition Kickstarter, changing his TikTok Live schedule, growing his newsletter through BookFunnel, selling damaged special editions, simplifying his website setup, experimenting with dictation, and discovering that turning off Amazon ads did not necessarily hurt his sales. The conversation gets into: BookBub Featured Deals and what happens after thousands of free downloads, Sell-through from one book to the next, Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, Free-book strategies, Book translations and international publishing, TikTok and BookTok experiments, Building social media around individual series, In-person author events, Reader magnets and newsletter growth, Special editions, Kickstarter campaigns, BookFunnel promotions, Amazon and Facebook ads, Direct sales, Publisher Rocket and AI-assisted category research, Author websites and storefronts, Dictation and productivity, And the eternal indie-author question: Do I really need to be doing all of this? As always, nobody on Write, Wrong, Repeat has the one perfect answer. Instead, five working authors compare notes on what they tried, what surprised them, what seems to be working, what they're abandoning, and what they plan to test next. If you're trying to build an indie author career, market your books without losing your mind, or figure out which of the endless author-business strategies deserves your time and money, this episode gives you a look at what those experiments actually look like in practice. Because sometimes the best author-business advice isn't "this always works." It's, "I tried this. Here's what happened."

Subtext, Inner Thought, and Emotional Blind Spots [ep 349]
How do you write a character's emotions when the character doesn't actually understand what they're feeling? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with author Joan Lightning to work through a scene from her epic fantasy novel A Jealous God. Joan's protagonist, Cherix, presents an unusual writing challenge. He has spent his life inside a culture that has left him disconnected from his own emotions and relationships. He forms attachments. He feels guilt, sadness, fear, loyalty, and affection. He just doesn't recognize those feelings for what they are. That creates a fascinating problem for the writer. The character can't tell the reader what he feels, but the reader still needs to feel it. Jeff and Joan dig into how to solve that problem by using inner thought, physical responses, rationalization, body language, and emotional contradiction. Instead of having Cherix think, "I'm sad," the scene can let him experience a strange physical discomfort, question why it is happening, and then explain it away. The character remains emotionally unaware. The reader doesn't. The conversation also explores how to build tension in a scene that contains a great deal of dialogue but very little physical confrontation. Jeff and Joan talk about: how to create tension through subtext how to use inner thought between segments of dialogue how to let the reader understand emotions the POV character cannot name why emotional reactions still need to appear on the page even when a character represses or misunderstands them how to use physical sensations as clues to hidden emotion how a character can rationalize feelings instead of recognizing them where to pause dialogue and let the POV character process what just happened how to introduce unfamiliar cultures and social structures through character perspective how to describe objects the POV character has never encountered before how much worldbuilding explanation a reader actually needs and how fear, curiosity, and uncertainty can make a first encounter feel real The scene also gives Jeff and Joan a chance to look at one of the great challenges of fantasy POV. Cherix encounters people, customs, musical instruments, horses, saddles, and social expectations that are completely normal to the reader—or to other characters—but entirely new to him. That means Joan has to describe familiar things without letting Cherix suddenly possess knowledge he could not possibly have. And sometimes the answer is not to explain more. Sometimes it is to let the character misunderstand. The episode ultimately comes back to a simple principle: The character does not always have to understand the emotion. But the reader does. For writers working with deep POV, emotionally repressed characters, unreliable narrators, fantasy cultures, subtext-heavy dialogue, or characters with major emotional blind spots, this conversation offers a practical look at how to bring the reader inside an experience the character himself cannot fully explain.
