11.2 Focus on Clarity and Accessibility

Write Clearly

  • Use concise, descriptive language that avoids ambiguity.
  • Ensure choices are easy to understand, even if outcomes remain unpredictable.

Simplify Navigation

  • Provide intuitive navigation tools, such as clickable maps or clear “back” and “continue” buttons.
  • Use AdventureBuildr’s node overview to ensure smooth transitions between branches.

Improve Accessibility

  • Add alt text to images and captions for audio and video.
  • Consider font readability, contrast, and other design elements that accommodate all readers.

Reasoning

Clear, accessible storytelling ensures that all readers can enjoy and fully engage with your novel, regardless of their background or abilities.
