Book Review: The Idea by Eric Bork

I have purchased many books on writing and self publishing over the years but few of them have impressed me enough to warrant my taking time to write a review. This one blew my mind.

While the book is aimed initially at screenwriters, I found the advice he gives to be easily transferable to novel writing. In fact writers of any genre, including nonfiction would do themselves a favour by reading this book.

Eric lists for us, Seven Elements of a Viable Story for Screen, Stage or Fiction, then goes into great detail describing each one. I like that he gives examples of well known works to illustrate his point. I originally bought this book in Audible format but think I will need to own this one in print for my library.

For anyone who has wondered why it’s so hard to get a script or manuscript accepted, or get viewers or readers, this book will be an eye-opener. Check it out HERE.
