Whether you have the final scenes of your book worked out from the moment you put pen to paper or it comes to you somewhere along the way, there’s one thing every writer needs to master to leave a lasting impression on readers: how to end a story.

*** A LAST NOTE FROM YOUR NARRATOR***
I am hunted by humans.
To create a satisfying ending, close your book with purpose.
