Welcome to the latest installment in my Promises and Payoffs in Fiction series. Eventually, these posts will become a craft book, and every paid subscriber of the Messy Muse will receive a signed copy.

Today, we’ll be discussing two additional tools fiction writers use to make promises to readers: Power Words and Genre Cues.

If you’re interested in leveling up your writing craft be sure to subscribe so you never miss a post. The Monday Muse is free, but all of my writing craft content is for paid members. Share it with your friends, too!

Now on to the post …
