Hey, Storyteller! Send me a text message! I'd really love to hear what you think of the podcast! :-)

Backstory is an essential part of every novel.

 

Without it, your protagonist doesn’t have a meaningful character arc and your story lacks depth. But writers are (understandably) scared to put backstory in their novel because they’re afraid of info dumping.

 

Well, there is a way to strike a perfect balance. You CAN include valuable backstory AND avoid info dumping.
