Form & Structure

Shaping and pacing our storytelling
A Zoom Masterclass
Monday 9 June 2025, 7pm–8.30pm London time
£50

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.
