"We cannot recommend David Baboulene highly enough. His insights and expertise on story creation have been invaluable, helping us get the script of HALLO JOE to the point where we’ve sold the option and look forward to full production" (Mark Halliley and Perry Schaffer Scriptwriters.)
Are stories really a function of their structure, as orthodox texts would have us believe? Or is there a better way of looking at the roots of story power? Author, scriptwriter, story consultant and PhD scholar of story theory, David Baboulene take us on a journey that links the evolutionary and instinctive responses of a human being to the power of a story and helps us to understand why stories are so integrated into the way we think. This is not simply another practical 'how to write' book. This is a book for storytellers, producers and anyone involved in story industries who wants to master the craft of story and truly understand what's going on when a story grips us. This is a new and exciting perspective that you will not find anywhere else on the 'How to Write' bookshelf.

David Baboulene

Author and Principle of DreamEngine Story World

David Baboulene is a published author, filmmaker, story consultant, and Ph.D. academic of story theory. His research has provably shifted the cutting edge of narrative theory from a focus on structuralism to an approach based on evolutionary psychology – factors such as knowledge gaps and subtext – that cause stories to exist and to have such power to grip and intrigue us.

David is one of the first highly qualified story consultants to also have published works of fiction and film deals for his own stories. (See the full list of published works here.)

He has also studied stories back to pre-biblical and Greek times, classical literature as well as talking to big names in contemporary story-telling,.

In a world where history is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness, Tina questions the need to change those stories, but rather learn from them. Find David on the internet on him website, on Facebook ,Twitter.and YouTube. You can contact David through The DreamEngine here
