Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s incredibly popular novels and films . . .
Mr. Anderson, aka Neo, from The Matrix films . . .
Percy Jackson from the popular young adult books, movies, and soon to be television show . . .
Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars prequels . . .
Each and every one of these characters is the subject of a prophecy.
As this list of characters from much-loved properties demonstrates, prophecy is an undeniably powerful literary technique.
Unfortunately, it’s also one that is very easy to get wrong.
Far too often, I see writers inserting prophecies into their manuscripts in a way that actually takes away from their stories rather than adds to them.
Don’t let that happen to you!
Sign-up up now for my new live seminar, “Use and Misuse of Prophecy in Commercial Fiction.”
You are going to learn how to use prophecy to:
- Create a surprising climax to your novel, NOT spoil the ending
- Give your characters agency, NOT rob them of it
- Encourage reader identification with your protagonist, NOT distance readers from them
- Emphasize your story’s world-building, NOT create plot and logic holes
- And much more!
You’ll leave the training confident that you are executing this powerful literary technique in the best way possible for your novel.
