THE INVISIBLE PRESS – Writing for the Soul of the World

In all my years studying craft, reading books on writers by writers, standard genre tomes, Writing for the Soul of the World, is not just helpful with an incredible overview of craft, of thoughtful approaches to the writing life, and this idea of the "Universal Grammar of Story," but it is the most beautifully-designed, thoughtfully laid- out book on writing I have ever witnessed that includes an overall design based on many brilliant classical texts, long adored, used, and quoted for their brilliance, now the plot points of which are directly applied.

"Give her 3 minutes and she'll set your writing on fire! She only needs 30 seconds, but it will take you another 2 1/2 minutes to realize what just happened."
Rev. Sarita Brown, Heythrop College, University of London, Alum

The Universal Grammar of Story®: An Author’s Guide to Writing for the Soul of the World uniquely weaves together seemingly incompatible fields to awaken, transform, and perfect the storyteller within you using techniques from master writing teacher Dr. Hazel Denhart.

The Ancient Mythopoetic Approach to Storytelling

The Universal Grammar of Story is an ancient mythopoetic philosophy and method of writing. It is not a genre but a way of approaching any storytelling genre, be it fiction or nonfiction. It is founded on four core pillars:

The unconscious drives calling a writer to a particular story and drawing its audience to it, including three forms of intelligence used in storytelling;
The power of language and how some words embolden while others weaken writers;
The core narrative forms of story structure and logic;
How mythology and mystical philosophy naturally move through stories
