About this listen

In this episode, we look at the ultimate tool of the rebel and the most dangerous weapon in a writer’s arsenal: the power to take a foundation and flip it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Subversion from Within vs. Below: Exploring the difference between the high-level politician dismantling control from a desk and the disruptor throwing a wrench into the gears from the ground floor.

  • The Shutter Island Effect: Why subverting a reader’s observations creates a story that lingers long after the final page by forcing a total re-evaluation of the facts.

In your current draft, are you building a predictable fortress, or are you acting as the termites in the floorboards, preparing to pull the rug out from under your audience?
