We are so happy to welcome Liv Ivanov, agent at Creative Media Agency, to the podcast!
In this episode, we talk about making your work more addictive (we can all dream of the “I read it in one sitting” agent response!) through:
*Effective pacing
*Structure
*Tension
*Symmetry
*The MICE Quotient
And more!
Liv shares her insights on avoiding excessive exposition, the balance between tension and pacing, and the importance of character development. She also highlights techniques like reverse outlining and reading aloud to improve manuscripts.
We also learn what Liv would like to have in her inbox. Meet Liv here: https://manuscriptacademy.com/faculty-members/liv-ivanov
