“So often people ask me if there’s a book on story I can
recommend. This is the one. I can’t recommend it highly
enough.”––Alexa Junge, writer/producer, Friends, Sex and the
City, The West Wing A master class of 27 lessons, drawn from 27
diverse narratives, for novelists, storytellers, filmmakers,
graphic designers, and more. Author Daniel Joshua Rubin unlocks the
secrets of what makes a story work, and then shows how to
understand and use these principles in your own writing. The result
is “an invaluable resource” (Publishers Weekly, starred
review), offering priceless advice like escalate risk, with an
example from Pulp Fiction. Write characters to the top of their
intelligence, from the Eminem song “Stan.” Earn
transformations, from Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home. Attack your
theme, from The Brothers Karamazov. Insightful, encouraging, filled
with attitude, and, as Booklist puts it, “perfect for any writer
looking to ensure their stories operate and resonate at the top of
their potential,” this book gives contemporary storytellers of
all kinds a lifeline of inspiration and relatable instruction.
“[The] new bible of lessons and practices for
creators.”––Library Journal “Not a ‘how-to,’ thank God,
but a ‘here’s why.’ Writers of all levels of experience will
benefit from reading––and then rereading––this elegant
exploration of the principles of storytelling.”––Traci Letts,
Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright “A godsend for
storytellers in all media. It will help you decide what to write
and then show you, step by step, how to tackle virtually any
problem you face.”––Anna D. Shapiro, Tony Award-winning
