You’ve heard it said that a great beginning will sell your book, but a great ending will sell your next book.

Every bestseller becomes a bestseller because word spreads from reader to reader, and what creates that good word of mouth? Satisfying endings.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn:

What makes an ending satisfying (hint: it doesn’t have to be happy!)
How endings must vary from genre to genre
What advantage Christian authors have over secular authors when writing endings

Listen in or read the blog version if you want to write an ending that your readers can’t stop talking about.
