27 Principles of Story. Secrets of Storytelling from Hamlet to South Park

It doesn't matter what you are writing — a novel, a film or series script, a play, a podcast, or a comic — the principles of storytelling are the same for everything. And THERE ARE 27 OF THEM!

This book will teach you how to create a story that has a beginning, middle, and end. One that captivates and builds tension, that makes the reader wonder what will happen next.

You will not find any literary theory, academically complex 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 best tell a coherent, believable story, you will find what you need here. If you do not accept any frameworks and are inclined to 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 only you yourself.
