Good for Beginners I appreciated the brevity of the book and chapter summaries, which make this an easy reference guide. I also liked that Mr. Bernhardt listed specific novels as examples for the points he was illustrating. I stress that this most helpful for beginners but it's a good refresher course for those who have been at it a while and write instinctively, without conscious awareness of what they are doing. I did not appreciate the multiple typos and formatting errors; it makes me wonder how much time and effort was actually spent on the book. That can be forgiven, however. One final note: I think the appendices are at least as important as the body of the book and should not be skipped. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Writing is structure," William Goldman said, but too often aspiring writers plunge into their work without grasping this fundamental principle. Story structure is one of the most important concepts for a writer to understand--and ironically, one of the least frequently taught. In this book, New York Times-bestselling author William Bernhardt explains the elements that make stories work, using examples spanning from Gilgamesh to The Hunger Games. In each chapter, he introduces essential concepts in a direct and easily comprehended manner. Most importantly, Bernhardt demonstrates how you can apply these ideas to improve your own writing. William Bernhardt is the author of more than thirty novels, including the blockbuster Ben Kincaid series. Bernhardt is also one of the most sought-after writing instructors in the nation. His programs have educated many authors now published by major houses. He is the only person to have received the Southern Writers Gold Medal Award, the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award (U Penn) and the H. Louise Cobb Distinguished Author Award (OSU), which is given "in recognition of an outstanding body of work that has profoundly influenced the way in which we understand ourselves and American society at large." The Red Sneaker Writing Center is dedicated to helping writers achieve their literary goals. What is a red sneaker writer? A committed writer seeking useful instruction and guidance rather than obfuscation and attitude. Red sneakers get the job done, and so do red sneaker writers, by paying close attention to their art and craft, committing to hard work, and never quitting. Are you a red sneaker writer? If so, this book is for you. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

If you want a book that goes into detail about story structure, this book is not for you. The one thing about it, he does warn you what type of book this is upfront. I do recommend this book if you want an introduction or a refresher on story structure.
This book was highly informative given its directness. It tells you the different points in each act and the acts themselves. I enjoyed how he had a small diagram showing each example as we went along. I am a visual person and it helped me understand wherein the story he was talking about. It was a great refresher, and I learned things.
It was an easy read and to a faster reader, a day read. This was a book that is great for someone who is getting started and wanted to know key points on the structure. This book is the first one in a series and I will be getting the rest. ( )
