Summer Special, no extra cost: Craft FUN is a course you can jump into at any point, like a Zumba class. But this summer we are going to follow a special sequence with some bonus story development talks from our beloved in-house expert, award-winning filmmaker and writer Angie Powers.

June will focus on generating and exploring what I call “characters in need of story”–those intriguing, sometimes infuriating folks we meet at the beginning of a story, strugglers and stragglers who so clearly need to go on a journey. (Who among us doesn’t?)

July and August will follow a progression of 7.5 steps, broad strokes that give form to what we deeply understand and lean into about story intuitively: the ordinary world, the inciting incident, the act one decision (and 3.5: the plan), the point-of-no-return (the midpoint), the low point (test of learning), the final battle, and the new ordinary world. Angie ties these steps powerfully and inextricably to character, breaking out of any formula and thrusting us into the transformative power of story. In Craft FUN, guided by her bonus presentations, we will get on the page with examples from a variety of published works, see how favorite authors do it and play with these steps ourselves. Take your own transformational journey this summer, and emerge with a full-blown, life-changing story in hand.

 Craft FUN in general:

Brand new exercises every week get you generating your best writing, deepening your story, and strengthening your craft as you master what makes stories unforgettable to readers–from agents and editors to the fans who can’t wait to read what you write! Every class is recorded, so you can do it on your own time, or take it over and over again, generating new content each time.

 

 

 

 

 

What students say:

 

“I learn so much!! It is critical–I would not still be writing if not for this class.”

“Being in a small group of writers on Zoom doing writing exercises and sharing them like speed dating is fun and inspiring. Elizabeth’s energy and knowledge are high level!”

“The hour length is perfect. I always write something that surprises me.”

 

 

 

 

On Zoom: Wednesdays, 5 – 6 pm PT/ 8 – 9 pm ET

Bonus classes will be held on three Mondays, 6 – 7 pm PT, and will be recorded. You may also submit questions ahead of time!
