The Powers of Story: Seven Steps to Creating Irresistible Stories That Sell

"Story is a place of projection. It's not like magic; it is magic. " says the author. "If you look closely at what Shakespeare, Stanley Kubrick, or J.K. Rowling have done, you will see that their primary medium is emotion. As humans, we are drawn to emotion, not dialogue, not acts, and not structure. Love, anger, fear, and hope are always at play. The Powers of Story is a brand new approach to story, and life."

The Powers of Story takes the reader on a journey through the seven steps, or powers, that the audience (of readers or viewers) seeks to embrace after they enter the world of a story. The audience wants to believe. Powers helps authors to leverage emotion to make them believe.

The book is currently in its third edition.
