My love for stories and storytelling has galvanized me through three degrees, four Hollywood studios, one video game studio, and five productions. It has brought me to conferences, writer’s groups, and fascinating conversations with countless other writers from all narrative mediums regardless if they are print, visual, or interactive. It has given me opportunities I could have never dreamed of, up to and including working with several veteran animators, screenwriters and producers from Disney, Warner Bros Animation, Marvel Animation, Nickelodeon, Lucasfilms Animation, and many more.
It has also taught me that there is a principle to storytelling, a structural framework that can help organize the narrative’s events for the greatest dramatic impact.
Now having spent much of my creative career applying what I’ve learned to elevate my stories, I want to help other writers to polish their own narratives until they shine off the page.
