About this listen

It's time to take control of your stories.

Stories have a unique power to immerse, delight, and educate. So why do some stories work and others fail? The 24 Laws of Storytelling distills the lessons learned from stories past and present into a practical audiobook that you can use for any story you decide to write.

This audiobook will teach you the principles you need to immerse your audience, deliver immensely satisfying drama, and educate better than any textbook or lecture can. There's no need for any special tools, expensive writing software, or Hollywood contacts. You only need to learn from the successes and blunders of past stories.

By extracting the timeless writing principles from master storytellers such as Christopher Nolan, Stephen King, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, George Lucas, Alfred Hitchcock, and many more, this unique work will provide a fascinating insight into the laws of storytelling and how to use them to create your own masterpieces.

if you're just starting to learn about writing, this book will probably be full of gold. As someone who has read a bit on the subject there was not much covered that I was not already aware of - mostly because there is only a small collection of books repeatedly referenced throughout that I had already consumed multiple times. Give it a go. if the information isn't new to you, it's still a good quick refresher course.

I think this was the wrong job for the narrator. he delivered the information fine, but i didn't feel like he was delivering it to the right audience. there were MANY recent pop culture references that were mispronounced (Loki, slytherin, Bilbo Baggins...). he would be great for a corporate book on finance, or middle aged self help. But when you're reading a book full of comic book superhero, and child wizard references - maybe get someone who is familiar with the material.
