Weekend Workshops

The Weekend of Dramatica

May 13, 2014

Develop Your Story Sense. Great stories arise from writers who know story: those who have an intuitive understanding of how narrative works and the deft skills to translate that wisdom into a book or screenplay. Most develop this ability over time, gaining experience with years and years of discarded drafts.

But what if there was a way to accelerate this development?

Well now there is with The Weekend of Dramatica. Learn the psychology of story and how to express it with the latest developments in narrative structure.

Dramatica Writers Workshop

August 25, 2014

Dramatica Story Expert and Narrative First Story Consultant Jim Hull lifts the veil from the theoretical, revealing *HOW* to use Dramatica to write a better story. Dramatica offers us the "Next Chapter in Story Development". Unfortunately, trying to put theory to use can be a challenging and often frustrating experience. Understanding *why* Dramatica works is not the same thing as actually knowing *how* to utilize the theory to transform stories into something unique and moving.

The Dramatica Writers Workshop sheds light on the real world application of this unique story theory.

Learn more about this exciting opportunity for writers and producers.
