The Secret to Powerful Writing: Three-Act Structure Demystified with Gabriela Pereira | Episode 46

Struggling to make sense of story structure—or wondering if you’re doing it “wrong”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Gabriela Pereira, founder of DIY MFA, to talk about story structure in a way that feels empowering instead of intimidating. We zoom in on the classic three-act structure (and why it’s classic, not universal), break down the role of pivot points, and explore how structure works best as a crosscheck rather than a paint-by-numbers formula. You’ll learn: ✨ Why the three-act structure works—and why it isn’t universal or rigid  ✨ Gabriela’s “3 + 2 = 1” framework (three acts, two pivot points, one cohesive story)  ✨ How to navigate Act Two without falling into the dreaded “and then… and then…” trap  ✨ What the midpoint and Dark Night of the Soul are really doing for your protagonist ✨ How different types of endings work (and how to choose the right one for your story) If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by story structure or unsure why something in your draft just isn’t working, this episode will help you move from instinct to intention—and finally see where your story needs support. 👉 Join Heather's email list for FREE and paid writerly goodies!
