Story and Structure: A complete guide
In this episode, I interview Leon Conrad, an author, educator, and story structure consultant and author of the multi-award-winning book, Story and Structure: A complete guide which won the IPNE Book of the Year Award for 2022. His next book, Master the Art and Craft of Writing is due out in 2023.
Story and Structure: A complete guide is about story—as a dynamic force of life. It explores the deep structures which underpin stories. Leon argues that by following story back to its source, we can find more flow in our lives.
For Leon, story has a purpose. Story generally appears when we face problems. Most story structures arise because we face different kinds of problems. There are problems we can easily solve ourselves, for instance, and others we can’t easily solve without a little help from our friends. It’s the differences in the kinds of problems that we face that give rise to different story structures. Find out more in this episode all about the hidden depths of story.
Visit Leon's website: leonconrad.com/writer, join him on social media, sign up to his Substack newsletter and find out more about The Unknown Storyteller Project - a project that will take you deeper into the land of story than you have ever gone before.
Publication details
Story and Structure (528 pages (xxviii, 500)) is published in hardback in a signed limited edition of 450 copies (Aladdin’s Cave Publishing, 10 August 2022, ISBN 978-09-55639-13-5 £40/$50) and in paperback (The Squeeze Press, an imprint of Wooden Books, 1 November 2022, ISBN 978-19-06069-25-4 £29.95/$39.95) and features over 20 black-and-white illustrations by Jason Chuang.
The general aim of the podcast series is to be entertaining for all listeners, as well as being educational, assisting upper-intermediate and advanced level English language students with additional listening practice. I've been told the podcasts are the perfect travelling companion for long car journeys, train rides and even for airplane adventures.
