Dramaturgy: Making Magic With Narative

Writing is nothing less than magic. Why do you think we call making words, "Spelling?" This book takes a new approach to structuring your tales. Rather than merely asking, "What happens next?", you'll dive deeper with questions such as, "Why is this happening?" and, "How can I earn this crazy ending without it feeling forced?" and, "What do I do when my characters wander off on their own?" and, "What must change for this magic to work?"\

Whether you’re a novelist, screenwriter, playwright, game designer, or myth-minded creator, Dramaturgyoffers a new way to understand why stories work—and how to make them work deliberately. This is not a book about rigid rules. It’s a grimoire for meaning-making.

Draw your circles. Your truest stories are about to begin.
