Kit Tunstall

USA Today bestselling author Kit Tunstall lives in Idaho with her husband and two sons. She enjoys writing several genres and subgenres. When she started publishing, dinosaurs roamed the earth, and authors had one pen name with their publisher. That was the name you wrote everything under, no matter how dissimilar. Thanks to advances in publishing, it's now easy to have more than one pen name, and many readers have come to expect a certain type of book experience from each author. The "brand," if you will. Kit's catalog makes it difficult to tell what brand you're getting, so she has "co-authored" each type with a pen name, so you'll know what kind of book to expect. * Contemporary romances that are super steamy: Kit Kyndall * Science fiction and/or paranormal romance: Aurelia Skye * Edgier works (including fertile erotic romances and bad boys): Kristianna Sawyer * Historical Romances: Kristina Saxon * Horror, SciFi, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic without (much) romance: T.K.

What is a Storybuilder?

A Storybuilder serves as a dynamic roadmap, guiding you through the labyrinth of crafting a compelling narrative within your chosen niche or subgenre. This tool presents a sequence of plot beats and critical details, establishing a solid foundation for your narrative arc. Although not excessively prescriptive, it offers a robust scaffold on which to build your story, providing a formula that can be adapted for multiple tales.

The primary objective of the Storybuilder is to help you construct a robust plotline, while simultaneously encouraging a vast scope for your unique creativity. It’s crucial to remember that it’s one of many tools at your disposal for storytelling, rather than a rigid framework to which you must strictly adhere.

Storybuilders are particularly beneficial for burgeoning authors or those exploring a new niche. They act as an intuitive guide, helping you meet and exceed the expectations of your readers, thereby enhancing your story’s marketability. Despite its utility, the Storybuilder is not intended to constrict your creative expression. Instead, it offers a guidepost to ensure your narrative resonates with your target audience.

Its value is in guiding you and in its reusability for multiple titles.
