Description

Spoiler: There's no secret code for writing a bestselling novel.


But there are fundamental principles of story structure that will make your novel work.


Once you understand these fundamentals, writing a novel transforms from a chaotic, enigmatic roller coaster into a succinct and sensible process.


Whether you're a new writer or you've written several manuscripts, if you're not yet achieving what you'd like to achieve with your writing-The Novel Matrix is for you. Hundreds of authors just like you have used this remarkable system to begin and improve their novel writing.


What is a "matrix"? A matrix is either the natural substance in which something forms, or it can be an interrelated system of information. The Novel Matrix is both.


The Novel Matrix explores the natural principles of storytelling that humans instinctively understand and expect in great stories. This is the foundation from which great artwork is born.


The Novel Matrix also relates plot, characters, conflict, and setting together in a way that no other craft book has done. Written in simple, nonacademic language, this is the honest, elegant solution for long-form storytelling you've been waiting for.


Armed with this information, you'll never begin another novel manuscript only to abandon it partway through the writing.


Never again will you completely overhaul a novel manuscript because it just doesn't work, but you have no idea why.


The solution is The Novel Matrix.


As one writing student put it, "The Novel Matrix makes novel-writing scandalously simple." Don't start another project without it.

Critical Reviews

"Make no mistake, Pauquette has written far more than an instruction manual. It's a masterclass on the anatomy of story-full of rare, ingenious insight that is both practical and deeply inspiring. A must read for both aspiring novelists and seasoned writers looking for fresh insight into the craft."

"The Novel Matrix breaks down the intricacies of writing a novel into a step-by-step process that will guide not only new writers who are taking their first steps down their creative paths but also those seasoned writers who can benefit from a fresh perspective on method."

Kim Catron

Winner of The Great Novel Contest


"Brad Pauquette's Novel Matrix changed everything. It set me back on the road to writing a novel by giving me the process that I needed. Moreover, his guidance as an editor was invaluable. I am more grateful than words can express."

Julie Fudge Smith, author of The Beast Keepers

Finalist, The Wishing Shelf Awards and The SPR Awards


"The Novel Matrix has become a lens through which I see books, movies, and even everyday life. Brad gave me a memorable set of rules and principles that now live in my conscious awareness and empower me as a storyteller. I've even begun to explain The Novel Matrix to my 12 year old daughter, who is catching it just as easily as I did. I'm afraid I've equipped her to surpass my writing early in her career!"
