    Ever wondered why some stories feel profoundly tru Ever wondered why some stories feel profoundly true, even when they’re pure fiction? Welcome to the art of literary models – where we craft universes not to predict, but to illuminate the human experience. Literature has a unique power to resonate with readers by capturing universal truths about the human experience. As writers, our goal is to create that “buzz” – that moment of recognition where readers see themselves or their experiences reflected in our work. This is achieved not through scientific accuracy, but through emotional honesty and keen observation of human nature.

Have you had that buzz, that thrill, that reading something ‘true’ generates when you recognise that the writer has somehow identified a universal ‘truth’ that we have all experienced?
