You know something isn’t working in your story. The problem is figuring out what.
Maybe the middle drags.
Your protagonist feels passive.
The villain feels generic.
The ending doesn’t land.
Every scene looks fine on its own, but the whole thing still feels… off.
The temptation is to start rewriting.
That’s usually where the trouble starts.
The Story Repair Kit is a practical diagnostic guide for finding the real problem before you rewrite the wrong thing.
Instead of giving you another storytelling formula, it gives you the kinds of questions an experienced story consultant would ask when a screenplay, novel, pilot, or short isn’t doing what its creator wants it to do.
Inside you’ll find diagnostics for problems like:
passive or uninteresting protagonists
characters readers don’t care about
generic villains
weak chemistry
dragging or repetitive middles
scenes that don’t work
flat dialogue
slow openings
endings that don’t land
weak stakes
small-feeling climaxes
twists that fall flat
confusing stories
and the dreaded: “It’s well written, but nobody’s excited.”
You don’t need to read it cover to cover.
Find the complaint that sounds like yours. Start with one question. Stop when something exposes the problem.
Then make the repair and see what else changes.
Because one underlying problem can create five different symptoms.
The goal isn’t to fix everything. It’s to find the change that fixes the most.
Works with screenplays, novels, pilots, short films, and other narrative projects.
