FOR ADVANCED AUTHORS: If you’ve read Novelsmithing and thought its groundbreaking approach to novel writing was useful, get ready to be blown away. Story Alchemy: The Search for the Philosopher’s Stone of Storytelling is here, and you’ve never read anything like it.
Screenwriter? Novelist? Playwright? Write short stories? Story Alchemy presents a powerful new technique for establishing story structure and gaining insight into the entire creative process. It’s a new concept in storytelling that was developed using Jung’s Active Imagination. Here’s the cover to give you an idea of what it’s all about. Click on the image for a larger, readable version.
