"Very often people ask me if there is a book on how to write stories that I can recommend. Well, this is exactly that book. I can't even express how good it is!" - Alexa Young, screenwriter of 'Friends', 'Sex and the City', 'Why Women Kill'
A film script, a novel, a music video, a song, a podcast, or a comic - these are all different forms of storytelling. Regardless of the form chosen, all stories have the same principles of construction. To be precise, there are 27 of them.
In his book, Daniel Joshua Rubin breaks down each principle separately using real-life examples. He explains how the plots of 'Hamlet' and 'Pulp Fiction' are structured, reveals the secrets of creating a hero's portrait by analyzing 'Harry Potter', and teaches how to build cause-and-effect relationships using 'South Park' as an example.
You won't find any literary theory, complex academic concepts, or professional jargon here. All twenty-seven principles are presented in simple human language. If you want to learn step by step how to tell a coherent, believable story in the best possible way, you will find what you need here. If you don't accept any boundaries and tend towards a more free flight of imagination, you can study each principle separately and use only those that seem most useful to you. The main thing here is you.
Daniel Joshua Rubin is a writer with over 25 years of experience, a master of arts in dramaturgy from Yale University, the founder of the Story 27 writing studio, and a former teacher at the University of Chicago and the University of California.
