> We provide 115 themes or ideas that are universal. They're commonly found in books, in films and across the overall human experience – you’ll recognize them instantly.

> You take these thematic seeds and let a story spring up and take shape around them. Some will be easier than others!

(Note: the PDF you receive will have the white cover.)
