Are your screenplays held hostage by rules that don't fit your story?

Most screenwriting books hand you a formula and tell you to follow it regardless of what you're writing. Screenwriting Unchained does the opposite.

In this groundbreaking first volume of the Story-Type Method® series, Emmanuel Oberg identifies three main story-types — plot-led, character-led, theme-led — and shows how each demands a different structural approach. The result is a flexible, powerful framework that works for any screenplay, from independent crossover to studio blockbuster, for anyone involved in the Film and TV industry: writers, directors, producers, development execs and showrunners.

• Identify your story-type and solve most structural problems from the outset
• Replace rigid, page-number-based structure with a flexible dramatic three-act approach that fits your story
• Use dramatic irony, surprise, mystery and suspense to keep audiences genuinely engaged
• Deepen what's at stake with a fresh take on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
• Use the fractal aspect of structure to design not just the whole story but every part of it — and banish the sagging middle for good
• Approach any rewrite creatively and efficiently with The Rewrite Stuff: 12 Ways to a Stronger Screenplay

Including case studies from films as diverse as Gravity, Silver Linings Playbook, Crash, The Intouchables, Birdman, Edge of Tomorrow, L.A. Confidential and The Lives of Others, Screenwriting Unchained will transform the way you write, read, pitch, design, assess and develop screenplays. Guaranteed.

"Without question the most useful book in the marketplace on the writing and development process."

"The lightsabre of screenwriting books: the Story-Type Method cuts through to the essence and guides you when you are lost."
