The Glasshouse · Story structure
A shape for your story
Choose the structure that should quietly hold the book together. We've ranked them by fit with the genre and tone you've set so far. You can change it any time — your existing outline won't be touched.
The chosen structure annotates your outline and tunes the editor's feedback in the drafting studio. Your manuscript is never altered.
Based on your foundation, Three-Act looks like the closest fit. Setup, confrontation, resolution. A reliable spine with a midpoint that reframes the central question.
