Authors

Amy Jones heads a leading college English department where she teaches English Language, Literature, and Creative Writing, alongside podcast writing, poetry, and theories of narrative. She is also author of the forthcoming Literary Devices and Narrative, also in this series. 

Why do some books grab you from the very first line? What did Aristotle have to say about the art of telling stories? Is there a secret structure to stories known by all the best writers?

In this neat pocket book, English lecturer Amy Jones describes the clever narrative scaffolds used for thousands of years by novelists and scriptwriters. With helpful examples, diagrams, and cartoons, this is an essential reference guide for writers of all ages and disciplines.
