How to Fix a Story with Mark O’Bannon

You’ve written your story, but something is wrong. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you believe it’s a serious problem. How do you know what to fix? In this seminar-style course, author/publisher Mark O’Bannon discusses how to analyze and fix a story. One of the main reasons that stories fail is because the writer is using obsolete techniques.
