Enter the Architect’s Archive for blueprints to your next great story.

I have complied a general list of story structures here. The purpose is to offer a backbone when plotting and writing a story, whether it’s a novel, a manga, screenplay, or whatever. Each section offers further reading, if you are interested in expanding your knowledge off a particular structure.

You are the Architect, but that doesn’t mean you cannot use blueprints that are tried and true to inspire the foundations of your creativity. Plot structures are a fabulous tool, and one you can morph to suit your artistic needs.
