We had a tremendous response to our most recent teleseminar,
“How to be a Successful Writer in the 21st Century”. We had more than 500 people at the live event
and a couple hundred more for the rebroadcast.
I am honored that so many of you decided to join us on this
journey for a new way to write screenplays, novels and stage plays.
All this has led up to the launch of our annual StorySkills
Class. Ten (10) weeks of dedicated talks
to change the way you think about your process and to get you on the road to a
more productive and more naturally organic way of writing.
It is the culmination of my career as a story consultant and
award-winning screenwriting and playwright, where have translated the work I do
