“Marks has a wonderfully clear way of imparting the lessons on various aspects of story development, and all of it resonated deeply. I think my story is going to be tremendously more compelling as a result of learning and really internalizing the story elements Marks teaches.”

Inside Story shows you how to deepen your writing through Character Arc, Fatal Flaws, etc. Dara Marks gives the writer's the necessary tools to turn their ordinary screenplay into something extraordinary.

You can write a mediocre screenplay where your characters merely fulfill the needs of the plot, or you can write a transcendent story that moves the audience. Inside Story teaches you how to marry the external plot with internal character growth. Without exploring an aspect of the human condition, what is there for the audience to care about? Give your hero something to overcome and you'll have the audience rooting for his success. Learn how with Inside Story.

Excellent! Demystifies the art of plotting. I recommend it to all writers, novelists as well as screenwriters.
