Why are we drawn to stories? What is it that makes us want to listen, read, or watch a story unfold? And what are our expectations when we begin any story? These are big, complex questions. But as a writer, it’s essential that you tackle them in order to truly give your readers what they want and expect from a great story.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Create the underlying foundation from which a compelling story organically springs.
• Follow a set of guidelines that will help you keep your story on track.
• Use your power as a storyteller to hook and hold your readers.
• Identify the single problem that your story is trying to solve.
• Understand that everyone has a past, an agenda, and a reason for being.
