15 Types of Action Scenes to Keep Readers Riveted (in ANY Genre)

Action scenes ramp up tension, build momentum, and keep readers hooked…UNLESS you use too many of them or the same kind of action over and over.

When a movie shakes the cinema speakers with explosion after explosion, the audience stops being shocked, stops caring, and gets bored. That’s an even greater danger in your story, since you don’t have seat-shaking booms or flashing images to keep a reader glued to the page.

Plus, high-speed chases and epic physical fights might not fit your genre.

In this week’s writer coaching session, we'll explore 14 types of action scenes that can ramp up your story in any genre. Whether you're writing a high-stakes thriller, a fantasy epic, or a sweet romance, one of these scene types is sure to leave you feeling inspired.
