To my students I often prescribe Aristotle's Poetics. However to general audience, there are a bunch of those often include:
  • Strong dramatic content: A story that captures attention with conflict, tension, and surprise.
  • Varied rhythm and structure: This keeps the narrative engaging and unpredictable.
  • Believable, memorable characters: Characters should evolve and be relatable to the reader.
  • Effective story sections: Important moments in the story must be impactful and well-executed.
  • Deepened plot with subplots: These add complexity and richness to the main narrative.
  • Every line of dialogue counts: Dialogue should be meaningful and advance the story or character development.
  • Immersive setting: The world-building should be vivid and transport the reader.
  • Conflict and tension: These are essential for keeping the story dynamic and driving the plot forward.
  • A compelling hook: The beginning should intrigue the reader and make them want to read on.
  • A strong voice: The narrative voice should be distinctive and consistent.
