This week, all four members of the Third Person POV writers group bring new material to the table. From magical libraries and living books to haunted forests, mysterious murders, and the penultimate section of a debut novel, the group offers feedback, theories, and plenty of writing advice. Topics include fantasy subgenres, worldbuilding, character tension, magic systems, and crafting mysteries that keep readers guessing.

You know him, you love him, but did you know....

Get the greatest scoop on the internet, Grey Alder's interview with the one and only JC Bybee.

Everything from his inspirations as a writer to what superpowers he'd choose. Enjoy the witty banter between two writers, and let us know who else we need to interview in the comments!

In this episode, we talk through the writing tools we use, how we give feedback, and how much structure actually helps when drafting a novel. Along the way, we critique chapters dealing with action scenes, character motivation, pacing, consequences, and the problem of a protagonist who may be too reactive.
