Do a search for IF Theory Reader edited by Kevin Jackson-Mead and J Robinson Wheeler. This includes a number of interesting papers, including three by Graham.
His classic is The Craft of Adventure, 2nd edn, dated January 1995, but I think this is superseded by Chapter VIII of The Inform Designer’s Manual, 4th edn, dated 2001. You can find this in various formats at the IF Archive.
