Free WebClass: Writing Stories that Move People

Advice from a TV showrunner/author

When I wrote A Paper Orchestra, I didn’t set out to write “important” stories. I just wanted to tell the truth -- the weird, funny, heartbreaking truth about being a person.

These are the kinds of stories that resonate with people. Small stories. And all of us have them.

As a thank you to everyone who picked up the book, I’m inviting you to a special WebClass: “Writing Stories that Move People.”

We’ll talk about how I wrote the stories in A Paper Orchestra, and more importantly, how you can tap into your own life to write stories that stick with people, long after they’ve put them down.

There will also be time for a Q&A. Ask me anything about storytelling, craft, or why I think rejection is actually part of the gig.

No junk. Just stories. And hopefully, some clarity for your own work
