Margaret Atwood's new book, "Imaginary Worlds," is a how-to for writing immersive stories. She says there are four ways to tell an emotional story that embraces universal truths. The second one she says is to make it personal; something you do in your family or someone across the street can be more meaningful than something from across the world. And this is something I think about in every single story and project that I work on.
With immersive experiences becoming more and more popular, it's important to ask: what makes an experience not just entertaining, but transformative? Margaret Kerrison, former Disney Imagineer and multi-award winning writer for immersive experiences, shares her answer to that question and more from her new book, Immersive Storytelling for Real and Imagined Worlds: A Writer’s Guide.
