What is a story arc? It’s a story told in a serial format. In the series, the story is allowed to unfold over many episodes.
Serialized stories have long been a staple of literature. Many classic authors originally published their installments in magazines. Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle each started their writing careers this way.
Stephen King used the story arc format as a vehicle for his novel The Green Mile.
In recent years, readers and viewers have become increasingly more aware of story arcs. You may have seen the story arc in action in TV shows like: The X-Files, E.R., The West Wing, Desperate Housewives, Hill Street Blues, 24, Alias, Lost, Farscape, and most notably, Star Trek: Enterprise. The format lends itself especially to drama and the science fiction genre.
With the advent of the internet, the story arc has found a new home. Why is it so popular? It allows us to enter the lives of others.
In that vein, I’d like to present the story arc for Darwin’s Paradox, a new novel by Nina Munteanu. Follow along as Nina weaves her intricate story into your heart.
