What's the Story Building Blocks for Fiction Writing (The Storyteller's Toolbox)

What's a story? Is it character? Plot? Conflict? Change? Why do some stories fall flat with audiences while others sweep the globe, captivating people in every corner of the world?

These, and many other building blocks, are woven together to create a compelling and entertaining narrative. What's the Story?

Ideal for beginning to intermediate storytellers, this book is designed to be used individually or in the classroom. The Storyteller's Toolbox series of books helps you develop skills and strategies to tell the best stories possible while exploring your creativity and developing a storytelling process that works for you.
