A Story is a Promise offers a fresh new model for mastering the elusive art of writing dramatic and engaging stories. In order to illustrate its major principles, the book includes reviews and analyses of over a dozen popular films, novels, and plays. Complete with prompts and questions at the end of each chapter, A Story is a Promise can be used as a workbook to help writers internalize the principle that underlies all welltold stories: that a story should be a promise and that a promise should be kept. The inclusion of familiar examples makes this book accessible and useful to all writers of fiction, plays, and screenplays.Bill Johnson has been using the manuscript of A Story is a Promise in his workshops for years. Many editors also use the workbook to teach blossoming writers the craft of storytelling.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The tips felt too general and not very actionable. I expected more specific advice for screenplays rather than just broad concepts. Not worth the money, in my opinion.

Helpful Tips for Aspiring Writers
This book is packed with great advice for anyone looking to write a screenplay or novel. The insights really made me rethink some of my ideas. I loved how practical and straightforward it is, perfect for beginners and even seasoned writers who might need a refresher.

Good, but a bit basic
I found some useful nuggets in here, but I was hoping for more in-depth analysis. It’s a solid starting point for new writers, but if you’re looking for advanced techniques, this might fall short. Still, it’s a decent read for the price.
