One Comprehensive Storytelling System
The Buzz about the Trellis Method Bundle
Bestselling and award-winning author D. Wallace Peach said,
“After a decade of exploring different story structures, I wondered why no one had tried to combine them into one comprehensive storytelling system. Then I landed on the Trellis Method. It’s more than a way of structuring a plot—its pinch-points, pivots, and try-fail cycles. It’s a master system for writing a compelling and marketable book, from exploring genres and themes to developing rich characters to fleshing out the components of an engaging plot, including its subplots, scenes, and beats.”
