27 Essential Principles of Story by Daniel Joshua Rubin
A modern and actionable guide to the fundamentals of writing compelling, well-crafted, authentic stories in any medium, with lessons illustrated by novels, plays, films, music, video games, and TV, and writers from Shakespeare and Dostoevsky to Quentin Tarantino and Eminem.
"Rubin, a playwright and TV scriptwriter, aims with this manual to give writers "enough direction to avoid getting lost, but not so much that it strangles your creativity," and succeeds in creating an invaluable resource.. This is a no-brainer for both pro and would-be novelists." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Seasoned multimedia writer Rubin (NBC, the WB) injects the traditional writing manual with an overdue fix of dash and utility... This new bible of lessons and practices for creators across media will likely appeal to readers curious about behind-the-scenes realities of those who bring to life today's most popular and intelligent entertainment." --Library Journal "Perfect for any writer looking to ensure their stories operate and resonate at the top of their potential." --Booklist
