Video Description

Underwriting happens when you don't write enough. Your book is too short. Crucial details are missing. Your prose is bare bones. But what do you do if you've already finished telling your story, and you still need to add length to make it a novel? If you are an underwriter, chances are you haven't told your story to its fullest potential. In this video, I share my approach to beefing up your story at the plot level and making your plot a more robust version of itself. Are you an underwriter? What helps you the most when beefing up your manuscripts? šŸŽ¬ K E E P W A T C H I N G How to write and finish a book in 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grUGz_kES68 1st person present tense POV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Nuuz-zsNQ SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/WritewithClaireFraise PLOT GRID VIDEOS: What is a plot grid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMSrakSWwKg How to outline a book using a plot grid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn2_aAF9bjU Plot grid livestream (build a plot grid with me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xolNWPA_wRc šŸ‘» R E A D T H E Y S T A Y Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/They-Stay-Suspenseful-Young-Mystery/dp/1737225301/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=claire+fraise%27&qid=1628649544&sr=8-1 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/they-stay-claire-fraise/1139953490?ean=9781737225300 Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/They-Stay-Suspenseful-Supernatural-Mystery-ebook/dp/B09BMFDG3P/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1628649544&sr=8-1 Add THEY STAY on GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57821402-they-stay Download the first FIVE chapters of THEY STAY when you subscribe to my newsletter: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l šŸ˜€ C O N N E C T W I T H M E MAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l WEBSITE: https://www.clairefraise.com/​​​​​​ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/clairefraiseauthor/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/clairefraiseauthor PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/clairefraisebooks/ GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14193771.Claire_Fraise EMAIL: [email protected] CHAPTERS: 0:00 Introduction 0:25 What is an underwriter? 2:00 I’m YA author Claire Fraise 3:18 General strategy to beef up a story 9:15 3 story arcs to flesh out 13:53 1 tip for beefing up your prose 15:42 Subscribe!
