Story
by Robert McKee
Contains a lot of original, very useful thought about the qualities that make a story powerful, and the techniques that bring a plot to life. You can open to any page and find something that will improve your current project--or read cover to cover and broaden your understanding of all stories. Not just for screenwriters. |
The Writer's Journey
by Christopher Vogler
Details the "Hero's Journey" model of plotting, first discovered in mythic fiction by Joseph Campbell, and applies it to modern storytelling, using clear language and well-known examples. It's very exciting to see other writers using these patterns, once you've been made aware of them. Highly recommended. |
