Clarify Your Story Concept with Help from Jurassic World: Rebirth

In this week’s episode of Author Culture, we’re diving into Jurassic World: Rebirth — why critics were mixed, why audiences still showed up in droves, and how this “popcorn movie” gives us a surprisingly useful lesson in how to use a simple concept to please fans.

Yep, we’re talking dinosaurs, audience expectations, story promises… and the magic of writing a quick proto-blurb to see if your idea actually works.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

-Why predictable “assignment-fulfilling” stories still connect with long-term fans

-What Jurassic World: Rebirth teaches us about delivering on your genre promises

-The power of a proto-blurb for testing your idea (before the outline spiral hits)

PLUS a tiny tease: next week, I’m launching the Blurb Your Story Toolkit, a short, powerful course to help you clarify your concept, pressure-test your story idea, AND figure out your marketing copy - before the book is even written.

Just in time for Black Friday. Wo0t!And if you’re subscribed to Author Culture, then you’ll get access to the toolkit FIRST (along with all my other Black Friday deals).
