Nontraditional Plot Structures – Spotlight & Giveaway
A FREE ebook that introduces neurodiverse writers (and
neurotypical) to plot structures beyond the commonly used hero’s Journey. These
plots are emotionally accessible, highly creative, and more
“traditional” than you’d expect.
Nontraditional Plot
Structures for Neurodiverse Writers
by Margie Pignataro
Genre: Nonfiction Literary Theory, Writer’s Guide
Born from a rejected dissertation proposal and reworked over
the course of 15 years into a compelling exploration of narrative, Nontraditional
Plot Structures for Neurodiverse Writers challenges conventional
storytelling norms. This free ebook delves into how nontraditional plot
structures resonate with neurodiverse writers, offering creative frameworks
that align with their artistic and intellectual strengths—traits often mislabeled
as obstacles.
Through engaging diagrams and dozens of links to free resources, this book
examines storytelling across diverse mediums, from Oedipus the King to Squid
Game, spanning novels, poetry, visual arts, television, film, theater, and
even commercials. The Mona Lisa and Little Red Riding Hood provide illustrated
and textual examples of each plot structure. Whether you’re a writer seeking
fresh approaches or an artist questioning traditional narratives, this guide
provides valuable insights into storytelling beyond the expected.
This ebook lays the groundwork for a forthcoming second edition, arriving next
year, which will expand upon these ideas with deeper textual analyses,
practical exercises, and hands-on guidance to help you craft your own unique
narratives.

ebook duo of Building Your
Play & Ladders to Fire
– 1 winner each!
Building Your
Play: Theory and Practice for the Beginning Playwright, David Rush.
Written by my late, great playwriting professor,
this is essential reading for anyone who wants to write traditional fiction.
Everything in this book I covered in two of my graduate seminars with
David. Learn the rules of traditional writing so you can learn how to break
them.
Ladders to
Fire, Anaïs Nin
Anaïs Nin wrote novels which are pure nontraditional
texts, to the point that they are difficult to consume for readers
expecting conventional actions. Lacking goals, climaxes, and any kind of a
Journey plot, her novels are psychological analyses of women characters
and their relationships. In my ebook, I explore an excerpt of Ladders to Fire
as having a Portrait plot structure.
David would loathe Nin’s work and Nin would chide David
for his rigid devotion to structures. Reading them together gives a fantastic
view of the differences of traditional and nontraditional writing.

The Phantoms of
Pittenweem
PJ and the Paranormal Pursuers Book 2
by Jacqui Dempster
Genre: YA, Teen Paranormal Adventure
After moving from New York to Edinburgh to live with his
aunt, PJ very quickly discovered the parallel worlds of the living and the dead
when he was forced to battle the evil Mackenzie Poltergeist at Greyfriars
Kirkyard.
Now, PJ and his fellow ghost-hunting friends are invited to
stay in the picturesque fishing village of Pittenweem in Fife, a place which,
unbeknown to them, has haunting echoes of its witch-hunting past.
However, their holiday promises to be anything but peaceful,
as witchcraft and superstition threatens to bring terror and chaos to the
villagers and the Paranormal Pursuers must face off with the malevolent spirit
of a young boy, Patrick Morton. Can they find a way to prevent him from
reviving the dark and sinister past of Pittenweem before it’s too late?

The Mackenzie
Poltergeist
PJ and the Paranormal Pursuers Book 1
After his mom dies, PJ reluctantly leaves his New York home
and everyone he loves, to live with his Aunt Katie in Edinburgh. A series of
strange events begin when his aunt’s elderly neighbour and her cat Azrael
convince him that his mom, weirdly, is still very much with him.
At a bereavement counselling group, PJ makes a new group of
friends, all of whom have lost loved ones. Drawn together by their shared
experiences, they soon discover they have something else in common; an interest
in the supernatural. Freya is the daughter of a white witch, Sunny has a
scientific and enquiring mind and Shuggie, a superfan of ghost hunting
programmes. Led by PJ, they try to prove that there is life after death and
that their loved ones are still with them. The team receives strange messages leading
them to investigate Greyfriars Kirkyard where they experience terrifying
paranormal activity and PJ is drawn into the clutches of the evil Mackenzie
Poltergeist after reciting a famous rhyme that invites the restless spirit to
draw back the bolt of his scary mausoleum to allow him entry. There, he finds
himself in a fight of good against evil with the ghost of Sir George Mackenzie.
“If you are, or know someone who is a teenager with a newfound interest in the
supernatural and paranormal, this is the book for you.”
The Courier and Advertiser (Fife Edition)
“PJ and his friends make a great group of characters, and there’s lots of
laughter to be had as well as scares, while ‘auld reekie’ provides the perfect
backdrop for these ghostly goings-on.” LoveReading4Kids & LoveReading4Schools

evening.”

Jacqui Dempster
qualified as a solicitor in 1999 but now works as a malpractice investigator
for an education and qualifications organisation. She lives in Dunfermline,
Fife, with partner, Andrew, and various ‘borrowed’ doggies who visit regularly.
Jacqui loves dogs, especially Jack Russell Terriers and thinks if they ruled
the world, it would be a better place! The doggy motifs on the cover of her
books represent Dug and Buddy who belong to the characters, Shuggie and PJ. Dug
is based on Jacqui’s own beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Smudge, and her
grandpup, Gus, both of whom have sadly passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
Jacqui loves
theatre and ran performing arts schools for young people in Fife. She produced
and directed various shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. When not either working or
writing, she loves to paint and crochet, and of course, read books.
Her first
children’s book in this series, PJ and the Paranormal Pursuers– The Mackenzie
Poltergeist, was published by The Book Guild in 2021.
Jacqui explains:
“The supernatural has featured in my life since I was young, with a grandfather
who saw ghosts regularly and other members of the family, on my Welsh side,
having strange experiences and even dabbling in magic! I studied on the
Edinburgh University Koestler Parapsychology course to learn about the science
of the Paranormal. I have also been on a few ghost investigations with mixed
results.
I live in Fife
nowadays and often visit the beautiful towns and villages within the county.
Fife was one of the famous areas where ‘witches’ were persecuted, and the story
of the Pitteweem Witches is particularly well known. In my book, the story is
told for a younger reader involving a contemporary allegory about one of the
young characters, Freya, who is a Wiccan. The subject of Scotland’s witches
came up in 2022, when an apology was issued by the then First Minister of
Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon to those persecuted, tortured and executed, and MSPs
were invited to consider legislation to pardon them.
I enjoy writing
about various places we’ve visited, and especially about any with spooky
stories attached on my Medium Daily Digest blog.”
Jacqui loves
history and enjoys embracing fact with fiction in her books which she hopes
encourages not only a love of reading in young people but also the desire to
learn about events of the past which often influence the present and the
future.

Insight Series Book 1

Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
“Spellbinding
lyrically crafted fantasy series.” Sarah Dodd
“Magic,
action, and paranormal romance offer an escapism that will engross readers—the
story stays with you, unforgettable.” – M. Mass
Cursed with an empathic insight, Willow Haywood has lived her life as a proud
introvert in a small town. Her world shatters when a nightmare brands her wrist
with a star. The foreboding omen forces her family to unveil ancient secrets
that bend the boundaries of reality, dreams, and dimensions.
In the chaos of this revelation, Willow focuses on the good dreams she had
every night of her life. Her instinct promised her that the angel in them was
absolute, that he was her soul mate, and together they would be an unbeatable force
in the promised war of young gods.
The conflicted path to him was easier to face than the mystery, magic, and
danger haunting the shadows of the cosmic storms on the horizon. With or
without him… her nightmare would soon be her reality if she did not flee to the
dimension her soul once roamed.
Guided by love,
tormented by fear, and hunted by those who would twist her gifts for their
sinister ends, Willow’s journey is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the
relentless pull of destiny.
Insight is a spellbinding tale of love,
prophecy, and the courage to find your true self. Perfect for fans of young
adult fantasy and multidimensional adventures, it’s an unforgettable story that
will stay with you long after the last page.
Are you ready to step into the storm? The journey begins
here.
“We lost ourselves in the teen
angst of Fallen, and Hush, Hush. We found courage in the pages of Hunger Games
and Divergent. Our imagination was on fire inside of The Mortal Instruments, Throne

Ghost and Tell
Ghost Detective Book 10
by Jane Hinchey
Genre: Paranormal Cozy Mystery
A dead teacher. A
scandalous secret. And a PI who’s way too caffeinated to quit.
Being a private investigator—and a ghost whisperer—means juggling the dead, the
murderous, and an espresso addiction I refuse to acknowledge.
When the ghost of schoolteacher Sandra Greaves crashes my morning coffee, she’s
not here for small talk—she needs me to find her killer. Problem is, her memory
is patchy at best, and the only thing she’s sure of? Someone wanted her
silenced.
The trail leads straight to shady school financials, questionable payouts, and
a scandal involving an angry parent and a morally bankrupt school board member.
Now I’m knee-deep in hush money, buried secrets, and motives worth killing for.
Meanwhile, my smokin’-hot husband is trying (and failing) to keep me out of
trouble, Thor, the talking cat, won’t shut up about his diet, and Bandit, my
cereal-stealing raccoon, is plotting her next snack heist.
But someone out there thinks I’m getting too close to the truth—and they’ll do
anything to keep it buried.

Structures for Neurodiverse Writers
by Margie Pignataro
Genre: Nonfiction Literary Theory, Writer’s Guide
Born from a rejected dissertation proposal and reworked over
the course of 15 years into a compelling exploration of narrative, Nontraditional
Plot Structures for Neurodiverse Writers challenges conventional
storytelling norms. This free ebook delves into how nontraditional plot
structures resonate with neurodiverse writers, offering creative frameworks
that align with their artistic and intellectual strengths—traits often mislabeled
as obstacles.
Through engaging diagrams and dozens of links to free resources, this book
examines storytelling across diverse mediums, from Oedipus the King to Squid
Game, spanning novels, poetry, visual arts, television, film, theater, and
even commercials. The Mona Lisa and Little Red Riding Hood provide illustrated
and textual examples of each plot structure. Whether you’re a writer seeking
fresh approaches or an artist questioning traditional narratives, this guide
provides valuable insights into storytelling beyond the expected.
This ebook lays the groundwork for a forthcoming second edition, arriving next
year, which will expand upon these ideas with deeper textual analyses,
practical exercises, and hands-on guidance to help you craft your own unique
narratives.
