The key to being an artist is having so much fun that you forget to eat lunch. The key to making money as an artist is making sure your audience is just as entertained and also you do occasionally skip lunch.

In these lessons, we’ll go over the basics of storytelling from Aristotle to Brecht to the blueprints of the business. How do I get an assistant literary manager who just got back from lunch to actually read my letter? How do I format a screenplay so the 19 year-old coverage intern reads past the opening ten? Who actually publishes unsolicited short stories?

Your teacher studied fiction writing, screenwriting, and playwriting at the honors post-secondary level; has given lectures on writing to halls of 100+; won “Best in Show” at multiple film festivals; has had plays produced internationally; got invited to read at celebrated bookstores; and was flown out to The Kennedy Center to shake every hand they had on tap that week.

If you have a story you want to tell, we’ll discuss media options, drafting, working through the middle, and how to make the rewriting process actually enjoyable.

Suddenly feel like you’ve got enough lessons to work solo for a month before coming back? Cater lesson timing to not just your life schedule, but your artistic one.

Sessions include crash courses on the actual writing lessons given at the university level, personalized development, and start at only $30 per hour.
