<h2>What people say</h2>
<p>“A very interesting look at story writing for the screen or novel, and a great overview of how to structure a story.”</p>
<p><strong>Howard Kazanjian, </strong><br /><em>Producer: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark</em></p>
<p>“If you get this book, you will never look at movies the same way again. Not only will you have greater appreciation for good movies and less tolerance for superficial ones, but you will be able to tell the difference between the two in detail.”
<strong>Kari Ann Morgan, </strong><br /><em>Microfilmmaker Magazine</em></p>
<p>“The Moral Premise is insightful, thought-provoking and unique. I wish more people were writing the kinds of things Stan is writing. It’s a much-needed, fresh approach to the art and craft of writing.”</p>
