This fun-to-listen-to, insightful book will enlighten audiences hoping to expand their view of Story, as well as instruct those learning the art of scriptwriting. Designed for anyone of faith who likes movies, TV shows, or theatre, this book explores the hardwired universal patterns in Story and the effect those elements have on our souls.

Perfect for:

  • Christian writers who want to combine their faith with solid instruction on scriptwriting and story structure;
  • Students and teachers in an educational setting needing an accessible textbook that is theory-driven yet practical;
  • Christians who create story content to deliver a message, such as pastors, speakers, artists, filmmakers, game developers, ministry leaders, and more;
  • Anyone who wants to intelligently discuss where they do (or don't) see Christ in culture.

Critic reviews

“Highly recommend...not just for its clarity of insight into what makes a great story, viscerally and thematically, but because it’s also a great read.” -Clare Sera (Smallfoot, Blended)

"Sean Gaffney definitively answers why some stories work and why so many others don't! Before you waste years of your life sweating blood crafting your masterpiece, pick up Meta Story. It's the Rosetta Stone of screenwriting." -Robert G. Lee (writer/director/producer)

“This isn't a ‘how to,’ it's a ‘why to.’ I will be using this book as a personal guide and pressing it into the hands of friends and students.” -Sheryl J. Anderson (Sweet Magnolias, Ties That Bind, Charmed)
