Before the final version of “Dramatica – a New Theory of Story” there was an earlier draft that contained unfinished concepts and additional theory that was ultimately deemed “too complex”. As a result, this material was never fully developed, was cut from the final version of the book, and has never seen the light of day — until now! Recently, a copy of this early draft surfaced in the theory archives.
Included in this “lost” text – 24 new archetypal characters beyond Dramatica’s “official” 8 archetypes, an exploration of the character justification process, exploring the chemistry of characters, plus alternate explanations of the Story Mind concept, origins of the Story Mind, Objective and Subjective Characters and more!

“Hero” is a Four Letter Word (Free eBook)
If you are only writing with Heroes and Villains, you are limiting your stories!
Heroes and Villains are stereotypes, not archetypes. As such, they are comprised of a number of different attributes which can be reassembled in different ways to create far more interesting and original leading characters.
In this new eBook, I pull together several of my best articles on heroes and villains along with new material to help your characters break free from the shackles of tired, cliche storytelling conventions.
