A writing course that will take you from concept to completion with a step-by-step plan.
Over 80% of Americans want to write a novel or screenplay. Less than 5% actually reach the final page and write "The End."
Why?
Because they're trying to write an entire book all at once. You sit down thinking "ok, I'm going to write 400 pages now" and then you never do it.
It's like deciding to build a skyscraper or fly to the moon. Where do you start?
Here's the truth: authors and screenwriters don't write novels or screenplays. They write chapters. They write scenes. They break the process into bite-sized, achievable pieces.
Story Master's Toolkit gives you the tools to do the same. You'll learn what the components of a story are and how to tackle each one. You'll understand why you do each step and how to get the most out of it.
And you'll get the constant positive feedback of completing each small step until you find yourself with a finished novel or screenplay.
It's still hard work, but once you write your first book, your second is easier. Your third is even easier.
If you want to write a feature-length screenplay or full-length novel, Story Master's Toolkit will give you the tools, hands-on help, regular masterclasses, and writer community to do it.
Write the story you've always wanted to write. Then write the next one.
I looked around at the price of fiction writing courses online and almost fell over. Standard prices were $499 and many went up to $2000 or more. Education shouldn’t be out of reach for ordinary, working class people.
My pricing for the course is much lower. I’ve always had the same philosophy when it comes to art and writing - I want to see more voices in writing who are just regular people, like me and my family.
That means I price with that in mind while, of course, seeking to cover my costs - overhead, scooby snacks, a new pair of shoes once a year.
The course is practical and task-focused. You'll begin with necessary theory - genre, conflict, and theme. These are the key tools for constructing your story.

Then you'll immediately move into the practical elements of building a story, one layer at a time. We'll cover worldbuilding, character construction, how three-act structure works, and its practical implementation through beat sheets, loglines, and chapter outlines/story treatments.
The goal is always to give you concepts with clear craft purposes for creating a story—no extra baggage.
