Customer Reviews
An excellent resource
As an award-winning author, editor, and someone who teaches Story, this is a great resource.
The authors provide thorough background and resources for further study while giving you everything need to improve your writing and/or your existing manuscript.
I’ve been in this space for a while now and was surprised by what I learned from this book.
It’s a great resource that I will recommend to my students and writer friends alike
A few gems, mostly rehash or other books
I was excited to read this after listening to the authors on Joanna Penny’s podcast, but while it had a few good reminders and I did highlight occasionally, it’s mostly retreads of other, more detailed books. Story Grid by Shawn Coyne is one of, if not, the best book out there and they quote it a lot. I will say, this is a short book, so if you want to save time and get some basic structure advice, check this out. But if you are looking for something deeper, check out Story Grid.
