TAP024, How to Write the Denouement Scenes for Your Novel

February 09, 2019

So, you’ve reached the end of the climactic sequence of your novel, and you’re wondering how to give your story a satisfying conclusion. Or, perhaps you’re currently outlining your novel, and you’re stuck and not sure how to plan the denouement scenes for your story in a way that will satisfy your future readers. I know the idea of having to wrap up every loose thread in your novel can be daunting. Trust me; I’ve been at that place three times before. That’s why, in this episode, I’m going to explain what are the denouement scenes, share three tips on how to write and structure these scenes, and breakdown three examples from literature.



Before I dive into the writing tips, this is the twelfth instalment in my series on three-act structure. If you've just joined me on this episode then, I will link the previous eleven episodes below.
