El Alquimista [The Alchemist]
Summary
El best seller de Paulo Coelho se ha leído en todo el mundo en más de 60 idiomas y es uno de los libros más vendidos en la historia. Esta es la historia de un viaje y una búsqueda. Santiago, un niño andaluz, se pone en camino para buscar un tesoro cerca de las pirámides de Guiza, en Egipto. Durante el recorrido se encuentra con distintas figuras, entre ellas con un alquimista, que le abrirá los ojos al sentido de su viaje. El hilo conductor de El alquimista es la convicción de que “cuando realmente quieres que algo suceda, el Universo entero conspira para que tu deseo se vuelva realidad”, por lo que la obra que puede escucharse desde el ángulo literario pero que también inspira como si se tratara de una obra de autoayuda. Coelho es uno de los grandes autores de nuestra época. Después de haber hecho como peregrino el Camino de Santiago, en el norte de España, decidió dedicarse exclusivamente a la literatura. Su segunda novela, escrita en 1988, fue precisamente El alquimista, que trata sobre el camino de la vida y la búsqueda del destino de cada persona. Con su voz agradable y bien templada, Tomas Leighton hace un trabajo excepcional como narrador de este audiolibro que ha cambiado la vida de millones de personas. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

The Story Grid
Summary
What is the Story Grid? The Story Grid is a tool developed by editor Shawn Coyne to analyze stories and provide helpful editorial comments. It's like a CT Scan that takes a photo of the global story and tells the editor or writer what is working, what is not, and what must be done to make what works better and fix what's not. The Story Grid breaks down the component parts of stories to identify the problems. And finding the problems in a story is almost as difficult as the writing of the story itself (maybe even more difficult). The Story Grid is a tool with many applications: It will tell a writer if a story "works" or "doesn't work". It pinpoints story problems but does not emotionally abuse the writer, revealing exactly where a story (not the person creating the story) has failed. It will tell the writer the specific work necessary to fix that story's problems. It is a tool to re-envision and resuscitate a seemingly irredeemable pile of paper stuck in an attic drawer. It is a tool that can inspire an original creation. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Summary
What are story grid beats? We think about the story creation process (writing) as one big “problem”. You simply want to travel from where you are right now (without a story that works) to a place where your story takes on a life of its own. It works. We submit to you that the practical way to unpack that very big problem is by breaking it into smaller, more easily solvable units. Just as performers break down acting challenges into moment-to-moment micro-actions they call beats, so do Story Grid Beat audiobooks break your story problems into specific high-resolution mini-puzzles. They’re like global positioning system reports for when you find yourself lost on your author’s journey. And once they clearly define the problem at hand, they offer procedural advice about how best to reframe your approach and solve it in your own unique way. After all, you can’t begin to solve a problem until you clearly know what it is. You are not the problem. The problems are the problem.
