Once Upon a Time Writers Handbook by Atlas Games
4.0
A little gem.
I came upon this book through the (very enjoyable) card game, which interested me as a professional storyteller. I've read a lot on stories, storytelling and writing, but this concise guidebook has a great information-by-page ratio. Useful exercises (owning the game is not necessary, but it helps) and a positive and encouraging tone as well as an extended example of the process of writing and revising make this a complete manual that can rival many bigger ones.
Recommended for writers, readers, role playing gamers and storytellers.
