The 3 Act Structure: Writing a Strong First Act

The three act structure is one of the simplest, but therefore most widely applicable, ways of structuring a book. It can be applied to the majority of novels, because most stories naturally have a beginning, middle, and end. It's an intuitive structure that's easy to apply, and can be adapted to suit a huge range of stories. In this series we'll be looking at each act in-depth, starting with act I, or the story's beginning!
