Unlock the Hidden Secrets of Plot and Subplot: Master the Art of Suspense That Keeps Readers on the Edge of Their Seats
Including subplots will elevate the tension and create depth to your main plotline.
Do You Really Need Subplots?
You don’t need to include a secondary plotline in your novel. But if you don’t, you’re passing up a great vehicle for adding depth, interest, emotion, tension, and excitement to your story. That said, it’s essential that readers understand who the book is about.
There should be one main character—your hero—whose story carries the most weight and whose arc comprises the main plotline. Readers should not be confused about who this is, so take care not to overwhelm that main arc when developing your secondary plots.
