Before I took Angie's story development class, I more-or-less relied on intuition to suss out the structure of a story as I went along. It was a messy, disconcerting and ungrounded process that involved a great deal of wasted effort. Angie's class gave me a method of recognizing the structure of my story early, and using that structure to tell my story to greater effect. I wish I'd taken the class ten years ago. I recommend the class to writers at any stage of their careers.” -- published author Mary Volmer

Are you ready to get creative clarity on your compelling character-who-needs-a-story and your powerful story-that-will-change-lives? This is a course that will mine your imagination and experience while providing you with a robust structure that can carry the weight of whatever gold you bring to the surface.

This summer, Angie will spend six sessions over seven weeks guiding you through a proven story-development odyssey:

• Short, concise video presentations will introduce you (or revitalize in you) the necessary tools to understand your story's premise, logline, character desire, seven key steps, and, finally, a concrete list of all the scenes in your book/ story with a clear purpose for each one! 
• SImple assignments, with individual response from Angie to each one, build into a completely charted roadmap for completion of your book or story.
• Weekly live (via zoom) and lively tutorials answer all your individual questions about the creative work you are engaged in, share inspiration, and provide accountability. 

With her trademark humor and deft insight into the workings of story, her commitment to helping you realize your vision, saving you tons of time and wasted effort, Angie will get you from vague idea or inkling of character or sense of place to a beautiful, original roadmap to your completed book, step-by-step directions created from the heart of your vision as you explore it through the seven weeks (and six classes).

If you are coming in with a rough draft and want to use the class for revision, you’ll leave with an exquisite blueprint for a breathtakingly wonderful revision.
