Modern American writer Kathi Marie (K. M.) Weiland, a winner of prestigious literary awards, is no less popular as an author of educational materials on story structure, scriptwriting craft, and storytelling. She devoted the book “Story Structure” to the structure of narration— the central concept in the literary process. After all, a well-built construction doesn’t suppress creative searching; on the contrary, it makes the writer’s work easier and allows for convincing plots and deep, multidimensional characters. Like an architect designing a building, the author of a large literary form moves from the overall idea to details. In a work of fiction, there is likewise a macro-level made up of ten steps that Weiland describes. Then the author goes on step by step to the structure of a scene and the sentence. The book is aimed at authors of both prose and screenplays for film and television, but it will undoubtedly benefit all readers involved in working on a wide variety of texts.
