This guide reveals how writers can utilize cognitive storytelling
strategies to craft stories that ignite readers' brains and
captivate them through each plot element.
Imagine knowing what the brain craves from every tale it
encounters, what fuels the success of any great story, and what
keeps readers transfixed. Wired for Story reveals these cognitive
secrets--and it's a game-changer for anyone who has ever set pen to
paper.
The vast majority of writing advice focuses on "writing well" as
if it were the same as telling a great story. This is exactly where
many aspiring writers fail--they strive for beautiful metaphors,
authentic dialogue, and interesting characters, losing sight of the
one thing that every engaging story must do: ignite the brain's
hardwired desire to learn what happens next. When writers tap into
the evolutionary purpose of story and electrify our curiosity, it
triggers a delicious dopamine rush that tells us to pay attention.
Without it, even the most perfect prose won't hold anyone's
interest.
Backed by recent breakthroughs in neuroscience as well as examples
from novels, screenplays, and short stories, Wired for Story offers
a revolutionary look at story as the brain experiences it. Each
chapter zeroes in on an aspect of the brain, its corresponding
revelation about story, and the way to apply it to your
storytelling right now.
