What you'll learn

A hands-on foundations course for writers who want repeatable craft, not vague inspiration. Learners turn a loose idea into a testable premise, build characters with desire and contradiction, shape scenes around turning points, and revise with a clear diagnostic process.

The course is designed for short stories, films, theatre pieces, essays, and audio drama.
