The Problem we’re solving for…

     The #1 CHALLENGE for all storytellers today is: storytelling is a worldwide market. 

This has huge ramifications for every writer in every medium:  

1. FILM: it’s all about the franchise story, the series, which almost always uses the Myth, Fantasy, and/or Science Fiction genres.

2. NOVELS: the novel game means serial stories, with big canvases and multiple universes. These stories are not only popular with readers, they’re also what Hollywood wants to buy for new franchises, such as The Hunger Games.

3. TELEVISION: the serial story structure rules the medium, and writers who create one of these franchises determine their own future and the future of the form. 

Here are the PROBLEMS 

1. These forms require you to create a massive but also detailed story world that at the same time doesn’t bog down the story. 

2. These big canvas stories require tremendous plot. But you may not know how to expand the plot enough to compete with writing at the highest level.

3. Your story has to meet 2 main requirements:

      • it must have worldwide scope and
      • you want the story to affect the entire world, so it has worldwide consequences.

The Solution:

Westworld: How to Write the New Epic

The solution is to write the NEW EPIC.  

Why? To grab the worldwide audience with a story that has planetary scope and consequences, you have to tell a story that changes worldwide consciousness.  

I believe we need an evolution of consciousness and story is where it will happen. 

But we can’t tell the stories that will create that evolution of consciousness unless we understand the story form that can express it. 

An Epic, written not for the ancient world but for today, is the only story form that can rise to that challenge. 

In this class I’m going to tell you some of the key techniques for writing the most ambitious of all stories, one that can change how the entire world understands one another… 

And let’s you stand alone on the writing mountaintop.
