Narrative: Telling the Story [Paperback]

What is the best way to tell a story? In first-person peripheral, or the third-person focalized? Unfolding in the present, or as events in the past? Where is the camera? What is the lens? Where is the action?

In this concise little book, educator Amy Jones describes the different ways that novelists and scriptwriters tell their stories. Packed with examples and insights, this is an essential reference guide for writers of all ages and disciplines. It’s not the story, it’s how you tell it! Amy Jonesheads a leading English department in a Somerset college where she teaches English Language, Literature, and Creative Writing, alongside podcast writing, poetry, and theories of narrative.
