Hey,
I’m Dave.
For 14 years, I’ve studied the advanced storytelling principles found in bestselling novels and blockbuster movies. In my lifelong mission to master these key storytelling techniques, I’ve developed visual plot diagrams of the three-act structure powering top fiction and hit films.
Since 2015, I’ve helped unpublished novelists at this site which has been featured among WRITER’S DIGEST 101 Best Websites for Writers for my “insightful visual guides.”
Students have shared my way of “explaining plotting is the first time (they’ve) understood it” because it gave them “a handle on designing a plot framework and implementing it in a real and measurable way.”
If you are open to turning the page and plotting a new course, I invite you to join the Saturday Storyteller newsletter and every Saturday morning, you’ll get novel writing tips to develop, fix, and finish your unstoppable story.
With Appreciation,
Dave Villalva (Vee-yahl-vah)
