Using Story Elements
Story elements are how NoveList defines the aspects of a book that catch a reader's attention — the tone, whether it's focused on world-building or character, or if it's got a resonating theme. Story elements are a great way to talk to your readers to understand why they liked (or didn't like) a book and to search for more.
