Why read it?
1 author picked 45 Master Characters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a non-business book that I use for storytelling and while it was primarily written for writers, business owners can easily use the information to create better stories for audiences.

From Lisa's list on accelerate your business in a non-traditional way.
