The Architecture of Plot. How to Create a Memorable Story

Contemporary American writer Kathy Marie (K.M.) Weyland, a recipient of prestigious literary awards, is equally popular as an author of educational materials on screenwriting and storytelling. In her book "The Architecture of Plot," she dedicates herself to the structure of narrative - a central concept in the literary process. A well-constructed framework does not stifle creative exploration, but rather facilitates the writer's work and allows the creation of compelling plots and well-developed characters. Like an architect designing a building, the author of a major literary form moves from the overall concept to the details. Thus, in a work of art, there is a macro level consisting of ten steps that Weyland describes. The author then sequentially focuses on the structure of the scene and sentences. The book is aimed at writers of both fiction and screenplays for film and television, but will undoubtedly benefit all readers involved in working on various texts.
