Who Are You Writing For?
by Melanie Anne Phillips & Chris Huntley
co-creators of the Dramatica Theory
What if you are writing not for yourself but to reach someone else? It might
be that you hope to reach a single individual which can be done in a letter to a
friend, parent, or child. You might be composing an anecdote or speech for a
small or large group, or you could be creating an industrial film, designing a
text book, or fashioning a timeless work for all humanity.
In each case, the scope of your audience becomes more varied as its size
increases. The opportunity to tailor your efforts to target your audience
becomes less practical, and the symbols used to communicate your thoughts and
feelings become more universal and simultaneously less specific.
The audience can thus range from writing for yourself to writing for the
world. In addition, an author’s labors are often geared toward a multiplicity
of audiences, including both himself and others as well. Knowing one’s
intended audience is essential to determining form and format. It allows one to
select a medium and embrace the kind of communication that is most appropriate
— perhaps even a story.

About Dramatica and
StoryWeaver
What They Do
Dramatica is a tool to help you
build a perfect story structure. StoryWeaver is a tool to help you build
your story's world.
Dramatica focuses on the underlying logic of your
story, making sure there are no holes or inconsistencies.
StoryWeaver
focuses on the creative process, boosting your inspiration and guiding it to add
depth, detail and passion to your story.
How They Do It
Dramatica has the world's only
patented interactive Story Engine™ which cross-references your answers to
questions about your dramatic intent, then finds any weaknesses in your
structure and even suggests the best ways to strengthen them.
StoryWeaver uses a revolutionary new
creative format as you follow more than 200 Story Cards™ step by step through
the story development process. You'll design the people who'll inhabit
your story's world, what happens to them, and what it all means.
How They Work Alone
By itself Dramatica appeals to
structural writers who like to work out all the details of their stories
logically before they write a word.
By itself, StoryWeaver appeals to
intuitive writers who like to follow their Muse and develop their stories as
they go.
How They Work
Together
But, the finished work of a
structural writer can often lack passion, which is where StoryWeaver can help.
And the finished work of an intuitive writer can often lack direction, which is
where Dramatica can help.
So, while each kind of writer will
find one program or the other the most initially appealing, both kinds of
writers can benefit from both programs.
