Tarek Badr

solve the fiction puzzle. Everything you need to write a high quality novel.

Are my characters good enough?

You have a great idea. You are very excited and can’t wait to start writing, and then… 

“Do all my characters feel like one character? Do they each have a unique voice? Are these characters interesting enough?

These questions echo in your head as you drop your pen and watch it roll over an empty paper. 

The reader relates to the novel through the character. You MUST make sure you do it RIGHT!

What the hell is plot?

An AWESOME scene pops into your head. Your villain has set a tricky trap for you hero. Your hero is walking in blind and then…

“What happens next? Where is this story going? This ending sucks! Ah well, on to the next idea.”

If this sounds like you, then you need to learn about plotting.

A story needs to give the reader a reason to keep turning pages

PLOT is the skeleton of a story, the backbone that connects everything together. Without a good plot the reader will be bored by your book. You MUST make sure you do it RIGHT!

It's just not good enough!

The story came together, everything seems to fit perfectly. Characters, check. Plot, amazing. You start writing and then…

Everything falls apart on paper!

If this sounds like you, then you have a lot of work to do. Writing needs tools to transfer your ideas onto the page in an entertaining and gripping fashion. 

A story needs to have a solid NARRATIVE. It MUST be EVOCATIVE.

Writing is the name of the game, it doesn’t matter if you have the best characters or the greatest plot.

You MUST make sure you do it RIGHT!

Tarek Badr

My name is Tarek Badr and for the past six years I have read every book I could find that teaches writing, attended countless writing workshops and master classes. I have been a mentor and a teacher in a writing society and last but certainly not the least I have published an Epic Fantasy novel called Chaos Storm.

I have learned a lot from Tarek. Every time we meet he has something new to teach. My mastery of Show don't Tell has improved dramatically under his instructions. He has also given me many lot's of good advice that helped improve my endings and make sure they are not rushed. Tarek saved me and my readers from the trap of stereotyping.

What I like most about Tarek is that whenever I had a problem in writing, he could break this problem into a clear set of steps and instructions that are very applicable and easy to follow, and whenever I act accordingly, I could overcome most of my obstacles. What’s more interesting is that he has endless examples that can help in understanding what he’s suggesting. I can’t believe that after a long time struggling with my novel’s outline, he was able to highlight some points for me in one meeting and I left with a good structure for the outline. That was really great. Whenever anyone has a question, he has the right answer that can make them keep going
