Do you need a prologue?

Prologues aren’t inherently bad, but a lot of authors use them to ‘cheat’ – revealing important information all at once, rather than hinting at it to build intrigue.

This YA fantasy is such a great representation of chronic illness. Maisie put so much of her heart into this book and it really shows. I love the humor and magic that we see all wrapped up in an accurate portrayal of having to deal with ableism.

So what is GMC?

Goal, Motivation, & Conflict. Your character’s goal is what they want in life, their motivations are what happened in their past that’s left them with a lack of something, and the conflicts are what gets in their way.
