Effective Foreshadowing in Storytelling

Foreshadowing is an important element in all the stories. But what’s foreshadowing?

“Groundwork which prepares for future story elements – the planned clues in situations, events, characters, and conflict.” B.D. Owes Library

It’s important to introduce elements that will be important in your story since the beginning. For example, if a dog will save you from a villain, introduce the dog in the first pages. I used to do that a lot until an editor told me about that rule and that’s why I want you to be aware of that.

Check the presentation below to see how to do foreshadowing and how to avoid coming with a magical solution, out of the blue.

This presentation is for little authors and not-so-little ones too. Check more presentations by checking my previous posts about the writing craft based on my experience as a multi-published award winning author.
