Sinossi

Theme Building offers a comprehensive exploration of how narrative components work together to create impactful themes in storytelling. It argues that theme isn't merely an abstract idea but a carefully constructed element arising from the dynamic interaction of character development, plot structure, and setting. By examining these elements, readers can deepen their understanding of literary works and enhance their own storytelling abilities.

 
The book systematically progresses through key narrative components. It begins by distinguishing theme from plot and moral, then explores how character arcs contribute to theme through choices and motivations. The analysis extends to plot, revealing how narrative structure and conflict amplify thematic concerns, and setting, demonstrating how environments symbolize thematic elements.

 
The approach blends academic rigor with practical guidance, supported by diverse examples from literature, film, and television. Ultimately, Theme Building equips readers with the tools to identify, analyze, and intentionally build themes into their own work. It addresses ongoing discussions about authorial intent versus reader interpretation, providing a balanced perspective valuable for students, educators, and anyone passionate about literature and the art of storytelling, empowering them to craft narratives with depth and resonance.

Discovering Characters - Think...

M.A. Lee

Discovering Characters is like investigating a house we want to buy.
No, I’m serious. Characters have an exterior façade that we comment upon as we drive past. Through the windows we catch glimpses of interior lives.
As writers, we want to capture individual characters and save them from the cookie-cutter boxy stereotypes. We delve into their interior rooms for glimpses of weighty baggage. Finding their backstory is a search through attics and cellars, storage closets and garages. Characters hide their pain and fears, painting them over and adding distracting artwork.
Discovering Characters helps writers find the exteriors and interiors, public and private. We’ll dig around the foundations and climb to the roof. We’ll explore the open rooms and the storage closets. We’ll peek into rooms inhabited by such characters as diverse as Elizabeth and Darcy, the Iron Man, Aragorn and Frodo, Travis McGee, Medea, Macbeth, and Nanny McPhee.
Five areas comprise this guidebook.
1. Starting Points ~ templates and character interviews
2. Classifications ~ common and uncommon ways to discover characters
3. Relationships ~ couples, teams, allies, enemies, mentors, etc.
4. Special Touches ~ progressions, transgressions, and transitions for character arcs
5. Significant Lists ~ archetypal characters and much more
Discovering Characters, with 44,000-plus words, is the second book in the Discovering set, part of the Think like a Pro Writer series for writers new to the game as well as those wanting to up their game.
Writer M.A. Lee has been indie-publishing fiction and non-fiction since 2015. She has over 50 books published under her pseudonyms. Visit www.writersinkbooks.com to discover more information.

Set in a northern English town, Adolescence tracks the aftermath of the brutal murder of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. When her classmate Jamie Miller is arrested in a dawn raid for the crime, his family, psychologist and the detective in charge are all left asking: how could this have happened?
Adolescence gripped audiences and commentators around the world when it was released on Netflix in 2025, sparking headlines and debate about the difficult and vital issues it confronts head on. Also applauded for its technical ingenuity – with each episode presented in one continuous shot, in real time – it became one of Netflix's most-watched series of all time and won numerous accolades, including eight Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes.
This volume contains the full shooting scripts of all four episodes, as well as new insights and commentary from the creators – including writer Jack Thorne, co-writer and star Stephen Graham, and director Philip Barantini – colour photographs, and essays about the issues it explores.
A must-read for admirers of this acclaimed series, it's also an invaluable resource for screenwriters and other filmmakers, as well as anyone looking to understand more about the pressures and challenges facing young people today.
