Overview
The Chapters section shows the reader-facing structure inside a book. Chapters group scenes into movements, helping you check pacing, rhythm, point of view shifts and the order of reveals.
When Should I Use This?
Use it when you want to review the book's shape without opening every scene. It is useful during outlining, restructuring and revision.
How To Use It
Open a chapter to review its scenes, edit a chapter when its number or summary changes, or add a new chapter when the book needs another movement.
Example
A chapter may gather the arrival at a hotel, the first warning and the discovery of a photograph into one escalating mystery movement.
Writer Tip
Chapter breaks can stay flexible. Scenes are the working units; chapters are how you shape the reader's experience.
Common Mistakes
- Locking chapter breaks before the scene order has settled.
- Letting chapters grow too large to have a clear movement.
- Treating chapter summaries as full synopses.
