  | The Story Book: A Writer's Guide to Story Development, Principles, Problem-solving and Marketing There are a million ‘How To Write’ books out there. But you learned how to write when you were at school. You don’t need to have your creativity damaged by someone else’s views on how you should write your story. You need to understand stories for yourself and master your craft so you can write YOUR story YOUR way. The Story Book is written by a published author and scriptwriter. It answers the right questions writers should ask: what is a story? Why do stories exist? How do they work? What gives one story power and another one not? What can I do to make the very best of my story ideas? What tools are available to you to make stories that grip and intrigue? With invaluable new thinking on subtext plus insights on story success from:
"Fantastic. A bible for writers." Bookshelf "A wonderful combination of technical knowledge combined with the recognition that Story must come from the heart of the individual." Lorraine Faulkner - Seminar Delegate "A highly recommended method for anyone in the business of story development." Marion Pilowsky (Film Producer - Sleuth; Being Julia; Little Fish...) Simply a must-read for anyone wanting to understand how to turn ideas into stories that sell. Contact David for a free chapter of your choice. |
