This book focuses entirely on the mechanisms and architecture of narrative, moving from a comprehensive macro view of story to a micro view of the components of good storytelling and how to master them. New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig is a prolific storyteller--a master of fiction in many different forms, from screenplays and novels, to video games and comics. What he has learned by producing such a wide variety of successful material is that the elements of good storytelling are constant, no matter what medium the story is being told in. Discover all aspects of storytelling through Wendig's expert, and often irreverent, instruction. This book examines story from the macro view (storytelling the driving force that separates good fiction from the bad), then descends into the micro view to see exactly what gears and levers make a story tick and how to master them.
