Most people are wrong. Genre stories aren’t just a small subset of the films, video games, TV shows, and books that people consume. They are the all-stars of the entertainment world, comprising the vast majority of popular stories worldwide. That’s why businesses—movie studios, production companies, video game studios, and publishing houses—buy and sell them. Writers who want to succeed professionally must write the stories these businesses want to buy. Simply put, the storytelling game is won by mastering the structure of genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works\u003c\/em\u003e is the legendary writing teacher John Truby’s step-by-step guide to understanding and using the basic building blocks of the story world. He details the three ironclad rules of successful genre writing and analyzes more than a dozen major genres and the essential plot events, or “beats,” that define each of them. As he shows, the ability to combine these beats in the right way is what separates stories that sell from those that don’t. Truby also reveals how a single story can combine elements of different genres, and how the best writers use this technique to craft unforgettable stories that stand out from the crowd. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as Truby’s first book, \u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Story\u003c\/em\u003e, changed the way writers develop stories, \u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Genres\u003c\/em\u003e will enhance stories’ quality and expand the impact they have on the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dreamscape","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350906839344,"sku":"BDj6ot","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49350906904880,"sku":"ZEj6ot","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49350906937648,"sku":"ZMj6ot","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/611720-j6ot-Square.jpg?v=1734298700","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j6ot","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
