Surprising, Yet Inevitable: Finding an Effective Story Ending

In Aristotle’s Poetics he observed that the best endings are both "surprising, yet inevitable." We don’t see it coming, but when we read the ending we can’t imagine it could have ever happened another way. In this session we’ll take a look at some effective stories endings and unpack the journey the writer took and the hints they left along the way that lead us to this powerful dénouement.
