Wired for story

In 'Wired for Story,' Lisa Cron combines neuroscience with storytelling principles to help writers understand how the brain processes stories.

The book explains how to hook readers by meeting their hardwired expectations, how to structure a story effectively, and how to use conflict and character development to keep readers engaged.

Cron provides numerous examples from literature and film, along with practical advice and checklists to improve writing skills.

The book emphasizes that a story is not just about plot, but about how the protagonist changes as a result of their journey, making it an internal rather than external experience for the reader.
