A novel lives or dies on structure. Before any chapter is written, your writer works with you on plot architecture: the inciting incident, the turning points, the midpoint shift, the climax and the resolution, mapped scene by scene. Character arcs are planned alongside the plot, so what each person wants and fears drives the events rather than the other way round.
Voice and genre conventions matter just as much. A cosy mystery, an epic fantasy and a slow-burn romance each set different promises with readers. Your writer drafts to those expectations, and you review chapters as they arrive, so the book stays your story throughout.
