You come to the end of a dark hallway.

Do you turn right, or do you turn left?

The choice is yours!

This is how all great interactive adventures start: with a choice. From the moment Colossal Cave Adventure first hit the mainframe, readers have loved choosing their own fate. Now is your chance to tell the interactive story. To create the choices for others to make. Do you want to write about alien invasion? Time travel back to the age of dinosaurs? Dare the reader to venture into a haunted house?

If you’ve ever thought writing was hard, then this book is for you. It will lead you through the entire writing process, from coming up with ideas to making a plan and getting your book written. The great thing about interactive storytelling is that it makes writing fun. We can all be storytellers. And as you write your story, there are no limits! Now what choices are you going to create?

For anyone interested in interactive storytelling, whether to write video games or books, this guide is the first best place to get started.
