Interactive Storytelling for the Screen

Interactive Storytelling for the Screen was published in 2021 by the Taylor & Francis Group as part of their focus on media production and narrative theory. Authored by Sylke Rene Meyer, a writer and professor with extensive experience in the film and television industry, the text was developed to bridge the gap between traditional screenwriting techniques and the evolving requirements of immersive, non-linear digital platforms.

Meyer designed the book as a practical guide for creators navigating the complexities of branching narratives, ludonarrative design, and user-centered storytelling. The work is structured to provide both a theoretical framework and actionable exercises, aiming to assist screenwriters, game developers, and transmedia producers in maintaining narrative coherence within interactive structures. It has been well-regarded in academic and professional circles as a resource for adapting established dramatic principles to the specific constraints and opportunities of interactive media.
