    I’m so thankful for this podcast! Abigail is so great at breaking down scene structure and highlighting what makes plots propulsive in such a digestible way. It’s like a weekly masterclass in hooking readers. I also love the insights and advice in the agent interviews and always have so many takeaways that I need to pause the episode and write things down.
