The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works by John T

Description: The Anatomy of Genres by John Truby "A guide to understanding the major story genres and how to write them"-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Most people think genres are simply categories on Netflix or Amazon that provide a helpful guide to making entertainment choices. Most people are wrong. Genre stories arent just a small subset of the films, video games, TV shows, and books that people consume. They are the all-stars of the entertainment world, comprising the vast majority of popular stories worldwide. Thats why businesses-movie studios, production companies, video game studios, and publishing houses-buy and sell them. Writers who want to succeed professionally must write the stories these businesses want to buy. Simply put, the storytelling game is won by mastering the structure of genres.The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works is the legendary writing teacher John Trubys step-by-step guide to understanding and using the basic building blocks of the story world. He details the three ironclad rules of successful genre writing, and analyzes more than a dozen major genres and the essential plot events, or "beats," that define each of them. As he shows, the ability to combine these beats in the right way is what separates stories that sell from those that dont. Truby also reveals how a single story can combine elements of different genres, and how the best writers use this technique to craft unforgettable stories that stand out from the crowd. Just as Trubys first book, The Anatomy of Story, changed the way writers develop stories, The Anatomy of Genres will enhance stories quality and expand the impact they have on the world.
