Form & Structure
Shaping and pacing our storytelling
A Zoom Masterclass – subscribe for updates including the next time this class runs.
In this masterclass we’ll look at the forms that shape our stories and deepen our narrative material. We’ll also survey various narrative structures – three-act, Hero’s Journey, Kishōtenketsu, among others – for their offerings to the pacing and internal architecture of our storytelling.
- Each masterclass will run on Zoom, with discussion on this month’s topics, plus a writing exercise and Q&A.
- A week before the class, you’ll be emailed optional homework: brief preparatory readings as well as writing exercises.
- After each class, you’ll also be emailed a unit workbook with notes on craft as well as writing experiments, reading recommendations and further resources.
- Classes will be live. Recordings will not be available.
