What’s stopping you… ​

Sadly, this isn’t the reality of what most dedicated writers experience: 

        • You’re struggling to get traction on the books you’ve written.
        • You have no agent and no idea how to get one.
        • Your stories seem to lose steam in the middle instead of picking up speed all the way to the end. 
        • You feel like you don’t know which way to turn. 
        • You just know that somehow, you’re not winning the story game, no matter how many grueling hours you spend at the keyboard. 

Stop… 

     using techniques from beginner books that don’t work at the professional level. 

Stop… 

     winging it so that your characters are 1-dimensional, your plots are predictable, your story world is generic, and your dialogue is lame. 

Stop… 

    writing into the void so your work is never seen and has no chance to become a unique story brand
you can sell.

[BONUS #3] Avatar: How to Write the Female Myth 

($79 Value) 

Learn the key story beats and techniques that made this movie the biggest blockbuster in history, with narrative drive off the charts – something every screenplay and novel today MUST have.

It’s all about the new Female Myth, the story form I believe will dominate worldwide storytelling for decades to come.

If you write novels, why would it be valuable to learn the key techniques of this immensely popular movie?  

Because the most popular novels and the novels that repeat in a series have to read like a fast-paced MOVIE.  

And it should be a movie that is part of a series, just like a novel series.  

You won’t believe how much you’ll learn about writing a great novel series by looking at my Avatar class.

  • How to twist the beats of the Myth form, which is the #1 strategy for placing yourself above the crowd in the competitive world of storytelling.
  • How the film creates a story revolution by tracking two conflicts: between a technological society and a nature society and between a Male Myth and a Female Myth.
  • How to write a mixed genre script, which is the only script Hollywood now buys.
  • A perfect example of a Female Myth story, a story form that I believe will be the most popular genre over the next two decades worldwide.
