Ah, another screenwriting guide? Just what the world needed. And there's nothing new in it too — unless you're paying attention ...

FROM CAMPFIRE TO NETFLIX: STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE SURVIVED THE AGES

Skeptical? Good. You should be. But hear us out.

This isn't your typical "Hero's Journey" rehash or a collection of Hollywood plot zombies. Instead, we're diving into the ancient art of storytelling—you know, the stuff that's kept humans enthralled since we first gathered around fires to share tales of wooly mammoths and angry gods.

WHAT'S INSIDE? Glad you asked:

• Six emotion pairs that have been pushing buttons since before buttons existed
• Power dynamics that would make Machiavelli blush (and take notes)
• Suspense-building tricks that work whether you're Aeschylus or Hitchcock

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! (We had to say it):

• A shocking revelation: Entertainment is actually supposed to be... entertaining
• Audience expectations that haven't changed since your great-great-great-grandparents were in diapers
• Practical tips that don't require a PhD in Classical Literature (but might make you sound like you have one)

WE'LL HELP YOU:

• Rediscover conflict (without starting a war with your writing group)
• Create emotional tones so unified, they'd make a choir jealous
• Balance creativity with structure (without selling your artistic soul)

Whether you're a bright-eyed novice or a jaded pro who's seen it all, this book offers a refreshing look at what's worked since stories were chiseled on stone tablets.

Intrigued? Skeptical? Perfect. That's just where we want you.

Read sample and see if this unusual yet strangely familiar approach tickles your storytelling fancy. Who knows? You might just find yourself crafting narratives that resonate from ancient amphitheaters to modern binge-watching sessions.

(No togas required, but we won't judge if you wear one while writing.)
