"Rapid Story Development is a wealth of information--a real handbook that's revolutionary in scope--one that isn’t leaving my desk for a second."
Caroline Leavitt, New York Times Bestselling Author Pictures of You, Is This Tomorrow?
"In his first book, Anatomy of a Premise Line, Jeff Lyons has already contributed greatly to the world of those seeking to understand story structure. In his new book, Rapid Story Development, he takes those original and highly useful ideas even further, showing how writers and other story tellers can use the enneagram to know their characters and better understand how these people form the heart of any story. Jeff has a really unique vision and a gift for articulating how a story must be structured in a way that is smart but also accessible."
Malena Watrous, Author and Lead Instructor for Stanford's Continuing Studies Online Writing program.
"Groundbreaking! Truly a game-changer for any serious storyteller. Jeff Lyons' Rapid Story Development masterfully melds story structure with the Enneagram - the ancient wisdom of human relationships - into actionable steps to craft stories from the ground up. It is a deep dive into motivation, dynamic action and reaction to drive your unique story."
