Riassunto

This is a book of exercises designed to teach you to trust your instincts as a storyteller. It’s not about the rules you need to learn before you break them, the 10 or 3 or 5 easy steps to writing the (your-genre-here) novel or screenplay. It isn’t about how to make millions selling what you’ve written. Plenty of books and websites and seminars already exist to help you there. The goal of this book is to encourage you to think about your own life—the kinds of stories you respond to, how they make you feel, and how those feelings relate to the effect you want your stories to have on your audience. Discovering what connects you to these stories will help you articulate what you need to connect with in the stories you create. Story Workout can be used as a renewable resource because writing isn’t something you learn once and are done with.

L'autore

Elisabeth Nonas is Program Director for the BFA in Writing for Film, Television, and Emerging Media in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College. She has taught screenwriting there since 1996. In recent years her focus—as both practitioner and teacher—has shifted to story more broadly delivered than in the form of a screenplay or novel. She has begun to investigate, on her own and with her students, how stories are told, whether in film, television, videogames, web series, fan fiction, graphic novels, as well as across media platforms.
