- Is this a beginner's book?
- It works best for writers who have already tried drafting and want to understand why stories fail or succeed. Complete beginners may prefer a more step-by-step guide first.
- Does it cover novels or only short stories?
- Both. Brady teaches short story writing, but the principles of story logic apply to novel-length work, and she discusses longer fiction too.
- How does it compare with John Truby's Anatomy of Story?
