5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Bill Johnson, August 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Story is a Promise & The Spirit of Storytelling (Kindle Edition)
I have never reviewed anything on Amazon before but I feel so indebted to Bill Johnson that I have to give him a review. I went to a big name film school for college and throughout the entire 4 years and thousands of dollars, I never learned more about storytelling then I did reading this 3 dollar kindle book. Bill Johnson really gives you the map to the maze. After 6 years of making movies, I had some idea on what made a story work and what didn't, but Bill Johnson really gives the theoretical groundwork to what makes a story resonate with an audience. Not only did the book corroborate some ideas that I already had but enriched them and gave me so much more to think about. Thank You Bill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bill Johnson gets to the core of storytelling, November 20, 2011
This review is from: A Story is a Promise & The Spirit of Storytelling (Kindle Edition)
Bill's work made me take a longer look at what matters to readers - and what matters to me as a reader - at the emotional core. I feel my characters are deeper and more memorable because of what I learned.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Help, January 22, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Story is a Promise & The Spirit of Storytelling (Kindle Edition)
This is an excellent book. The author shows why some novels are page-turners, and why some are not. He talks about a novel's promise and premise, and how to make these work. I highly recommend this book to all new fiction writers - and to some not so new writers.
