In medias res is a Latin phrase that literally translates as “in the middle of things.” In fiction, it describes the technique of beginning a story by dropping the reader in the midst of the action. The term comes from Horace, an ancient Roman poet, who advised epic poets to get straight to the heart of the story. Fiction writers and readers everywhere can thank Horace for this lasting advice—it’s a great way to immediately engage the reader.
