I really enjoyed Writing for Story by Jonathon Franklin. What I really like about this book is that it shows how so many great stories, which seem do different from afar, share the same type of structure underneath.

I would also like to ask how "story" can be used without any determiner in the title of this book: Writing for Story.

Anyone who is interested in learning this kind of writing should check out Writing For Story by Jon Franklin. He won two Pulitzers writing science pieces for the Baltimore Sun. He has a 5-step, 15-word outlining process that really focuses you on the conflict-resolution narrative process. He also derived his rules from fiction writing techniques.

I'm a former journalist now working public affairs for a government lab. I'd make this book mandatory if I could.
