About Writing

We are Andrey Zhvalevsky and Evgenia Pasternak. For more than twenty years, we have been writing books and for about ten years, we have been conducting literary courses. In these courses, we talk a lot about plot, about dramaturgy and its laws. How to make a story interesting? How to hold the reader's attention? How not to disappoint them with a weak ending? How to "extract" the plot from the characteristics of the main character? We have been answering these questions for many years and realized that it was time to gather them into a small textbook. We hope it will help not only writers but also video creators, playwrights, and anyone who wants to express their thoughts coherently. Because the plot is the foundation on which any story stands.'
