How often have you tried to write a story and gotten stuck midway through? How often have you felt like your characters weren't doing what you wanted them to do?
In this powerful one-day workshop, through lecture, writing exercises, and one-on-one work with writers to illustrate the principles, I will take you through the process of connecting to the core of your story by marrying the wildness of your imagination to the rigor of structure.
By the end of the day, you will not only have a much clearer understanding of the story you wish to tell but also a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of story creation.
Join me for this one-day transformative workshop.
This workshop is for novelists, screenwriters, memoirists, producers, directors, editors, and anyone else with a desire to deepen their understanding of how to build a story.
You are not required to take the workshop live. Many writers have day jobs or commitments during class hours, or sometimes life just gets in the way, therefore this workshop will be recorded and available for viewing for three weeks.
Story day is comprised of a morning session, Unlock the Story Within, from 10 am - 12: 30 pm PST, and an afternoon session, Story Structure Intensive, from 1:30 pm - 4 pm PST. There is a one-hour break for lunch in between.
Hi, I'm Alan. They call me the Story Whisperer. I teach a process of marrying passion to craft to tell compelling stories. My students range from first-time writers to best-selling authors and filmmakers who've won numerous accolades for their work including the Pulitzer Prize.
L.A. Writers' Lab's mission is to help writers build a body of work. If you have a story to tell and are seeking support, guidance and community, then welcome. I look forward to working with you.
Creativity is your birthright. Your sole purpose is to build a body of work.
