Your Storytelling Potential

The Underground Guide to Finally Writing a Great Screenplay or Novel

About this book

Writers seeking to create novels and screenplays with genuine layers and depth will find essential insight in Mitchell German's Your Storytelling Potential!

After studying filmmaking and screenwriting at NYU—one of the premier film studies programs in the United States (if not the world)—Mitchell German graduated with a complete doctrine on storytelling theory in his arsenal; yet his screenplays still lacked the potency he desired. He spent ten years studying every available book and "expert" on storytelling, but it wasn't until 2002, after endlessly studying the movie Liar Liar, that Mitchell found the key and developed the Your Storytelling Potential Method.

The truth about great storytelling is hidden in plain view for anyone to see, but nearly every expert ignores the most basic story construct. In Your Storytelling Potential, writers who seek to tell great stories will find:

  • A complete understanding of the Identifiable Traits great novels and screenplays (namely movies) have that distinguish them from the other 99.99% of books and screenplays written every year
  • How to use Two Stories within a screenplay and novel, which exponentially increases the chances of those stories gaining buzz and attention
  • A proper understanding of the critical and essential role of Subplots to create genuine character depth and relationships
  • How to properly integrate a Theme for stories to convey deep, relevant, and amazing ideas
  • An outline for utilizing A/B Parallel Story Structure and the Simple Story Timeline to build multi-dimensional stories with the required converging events of the A-Story/B-Story relationship

How the premise of every great story is created by the convergence of the A & B Storylines, and how this Key Information can unlock Your Storytelling Potential
