Lori Puma

I'm Lori Puma, a Visual Story Scientist and developmental editor for multi-published indie genre fiction authors.

The authors I work with aren't beginners. They've published multiple novels, earned plenty of reviews, and sold thousands of copies. What they don't have yet is a fan base of readers who've blown through their backlist and who rearrange their schedules around release dates. 

I built visual frameworks that map how page-turning novels work at a structural level, and adapted a conceptual model from behavior change science to create characters readers don't just accept as believable, but feel real enough to go to bat for in a TikTok flame war.

Start with the free Breakout Novel X-Ray. Five minutes. Personalized to your genre. It diagnoses exactly what's keeping your current novel from creating obsessive fans.
