SPTT 097 – Writing Deep Scenes by Martha Alderson and Jordan Rosenfeld

Episode 097

Released on: February 1, 2026

On this episode of the Self-Publishing Tips & Tricks podcast, we dive into Writing Deep Scenes by Martha Alderson and Jordan Rosenfeld. We unpack how this craft book breaks down scenes into three powerful layers, action, emotion, and theme, and explore how understanding those elements can transform revision into a process of precision rather than expansion. Whether you're a planner or a discovery writer, this conversation sheds light on practical ways to sharpen your storytelling, diagnose weak scenes, and deepen emotional impact with intention. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on crafting scenes that truly move the story forward.
