If your an aspiring screenwriter, or even a professional storyteller, I'd like to introduce you our latest book, "Story Design: Storyteller's Handbook for Writers and Dream Merchants".
Unlike other screenwriting books, we separate the story itself from the narrative. This enables us to identify the essence of the story - what it's really about - so that we can optimise its emotional impact on the audience, irrespective of character, plot, genre, etc.
It's a radical approach that we have found extremely effective at avoiding "development hell". You've probably had plenty of people tell you to write something 'genre-driven' or 'high concept'. Problem is, this is what the middle-man wants, not necessarily what the audience wants. Writing to the remit of distribution and marketing is like having the tail wagging the dog. Commerciality is, of course, very important, but it can get in the way of good story design and lead development teams astray. That's why we've worked with over 300 screenwriters and industry professionals to create a better framework.
By applying our process, your will become more prolific, more efficient, more focused and more commercial, while maintaining the intellectual integrity of your story.
Also, we are offering the eBook for FREE from midnight to midnight (PST) Nov 6, 2012 on amazon, so please feel free to get a copy and let us know what you think.

Thanks for your time and happy writing!
