Speaking and Workshops

I offer workshops, lectures, and consulting for writers, educators, and creative teams working at the intersection of story, structure, and media. My work brings together screenwriting, fiction, media production, and literary scholarship to help storytellers better understand how stories work — and how to build stories that resonate with audiences.

Possible workshop or speaking topics include:

  • Story Structure and Narrative Design
    Understanding the patterns that shape compelling stories across media.
  • Story Math: The Hidden Patterns of Storytelling
    A framework for thinking about narrative through order, proportion, pattern, harmony, and relation.
  • From Page to Screen: Adapting Stories for Film and Television
    How stories change across forms, and what must remain true in adaptation.
  • Intellectual Property and the Hollywood Development Process
    Understanding how creative work moves through development, adaptation, and production.
  • Teaching Story Through Film and Literature
    Using familiar stories to help students understand how narrative works.
  • Worldbuilding, Genre, and Audience Resonance
    How story worlds create meaning, emotion, and cultural impact.

Programs can be tailored for writers, educators, students, and creative organizations. For more information or to book, please contact me.
