From serendipitous encounters with people we can't forget to stolen moments of solitude with our thoughts.
We all have stories to share.
How can we craft and share those stories with others that can create empathy and connection with others?
How can we cradle with care the responsibility of telling other people’s stories?
How do you hook, engage, intrigue, and keep your readers all the way to your closing message?
How can you find threads and narrative arcs to structure your story?
In this self-paced course:
- You’ll learn how to properly craft, edit, and tighten your stories.
- You will learn the essentials and traits of what it takes to become a great storyteller — and so much more.
- Along the way, you’ll get question prompts for you to reflect on and work through the material.
- Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll have the option to add a one-on-one review of your prompts and worksheet for personalized feedback. (Additional fee applies.)

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by this being a self-paced course?
This means there is no start or end date for when you can complete the course. You simply work through the material and prompts at your own pace.
This also means that there is no direct interaction with your instructor until you purchase the discounted $199 add-on review session once you've completed the course.
We will be launching our interactive masterclasses soon and those included weekly interaction and assignment reviews with your instructor.

You have lifetime access to the course materials as well as a certificate of completion as well.
