The Battle Blueprint: Free Copy
For SF/Fantasy Writers
Write Action Scenes that Hook Readers, Raise the Stakes, and Make Your Story Impossible to Put Down.
Your hero faces the dragon. Flames erupt. Swords clash. And your reader skips ahead to see who wins. Sound familiar?
The Battle Blueprint is a practical, step-by-step guide to writing clear, character-driven action across all SFF subgenres — from burning villages to alien chasms.
What’s inside:
- The 5-Beat Template: a repeatable structure (Opening Tension → Escalation → Crisis → Resolution → Aftermath) that keeps every scene on track
- Arena preparation: how to plant stakes, hazards, and landmarks so you never stop mid-battle to explain
- Sensory and spatial techniques: so readers always know who’s where and feel every blow
- Three professional breakdowns: analysing battles by Sanderson, Abercrombie, and The Expanse
- A multi-pass revision checklist: you’ll reuse on every action passage
Plus: genre-specific guidance for both fantasy and SF, character revelation through combat, and a trap-avoidance guide for blow-by-blow boredom, mid-fight lectures, and contrived rescues.
Why free?
I’m sharing this with friends and fellow writers ahead of the full launch. All I ask is an honest testimonial: a few sentences about what worked for you. That social proof helps me reach more writers down the line.
