"This Guide is a skeleton key that opens all known story structures, and it is as applicable to screenwriting as it is to novel writing. It offers several powerful notions that shaped my storytelling and massively improved my skill in a matter of days."
Are you tired of not knowing if your story is working?
Or if you even have a solid story at all?
I had the exact same problem when I started writing, but I couldn’t find a single resource that helped.
I’d get 40 pages into a new script and get stuck in the swamps of the 2nd act.
I couldn’t figure out how to motivate characters to get to the end of the story.
And worst of all, I knew I had stories to tell, but I was so frustrated at not knowing how to tell them, I nearly threw in the towel.
But I kept wrestling and searching for answers, and I knew I didn’t want those who traveled after me on the screenwriting journey to fight the same demons I was fighting.
Everything changed once I figured out, and could articulate, the difference between story and storytelling. I no longer got stuck in the 2nd Act. I understood how to motivate characters, and I wasn't frustrated with writing. In fact, writing has become one of my deepest joys.
And I want that for you, and that’s why I wrote this book. Not only is the life-changing realization of the difference between story and storytelling in it, I’ve also included:
A SECRET hack Hollywood screenwriters use to structure and plan their stories with ease

The BIGGEST mistake screenwriters make when crafting a story
Learn once and for all what makes a story a story. Never get stuck in the 2nd Act again. And begin to find more joy in writing than you thought possible along the way.

"The Guide was a great help to me. It doesn't claim to provide some magical formula for writing great screenplays. Much of the frustration I had with other screenwriting resources was cleared away by the simple and, in hindsight, obvious difference between story and storytelling."
"This book really helped me get a grasp on what's needed to put together a working story, and it does it with a fairly quick read. The Guide helped me understand the essential parts of story structure and how to make it work properly."
