Description
"A Story Is a Promise offers a new model for understanding one of the most difficult of all arts: writing dramatic, engaging stories." "Written in a style reminiscent of a workshop, A Story Is a Promise guides the writer toward a keen understanding of the principle underlying all well-told stories, that a story is both a promise made and a promise kept. Step by step, this book teaches writers how to set out a story's promise in an active voice, which is the voice of the true storyteller."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
