About the lesson

Have you ever wondered how stories work? Or why? Do you have a story you've been dying to tell, but don't know where to start? Maybe you've written something and feel stuck, but you don't want someone to stifle your creativity? I can help. With all of these things and more. I want to help you tell your story, the way you want to tell it. We will avoid formulaic approaches - instead, focusing on what you want to say, how you want to say it, and what themes you want to explore. I can help you with: *Characterisation, Structure, and Theme * Pitching your ideas effectively and passionately * Development documents such as Pitch decks, TV Bibles, Treatments, Outlines etc * Develop your voice as a writer * Professional formatting and conventions * The importance of genre
