The Architecture of the Plot: How to Create a Memorable Story

Modern American writer Kati Mari (K. M.) Weyland, a laureate of prestigious literary awards, is no less popular as an author of educational materials on screenwriting and storytelling. She dedicated the book «The Architecture of the Plot» to the structure of narration — a central concept of the literary process. After all, a skillfully constructed framework does not suppress creative searches; on the contrary, it facilitates the writer's work and allows for the creation of convincing plots and multi-dimensional characters.
Like an architect designing a building, the author of a major literary form moves from general concept to details. Thus, in a literary work, there is a macro level consisting of ten steps, which Weyland describes. Then the author sequentially focuses on the structure of the scene and the sentence.
The book is aimed at authors of both literary prose and screenplays for cinema and television, but will undoubtedly benefit all readers involved in working on various texts.
