THE STORY FORGE™

Personal 1:1 Concept Development Coaching

The Story Forge™

Let’s Build Your Best Story Together

Got a story idea but unsure how to shape it into something marketable? I can help.

Through The Story Forge™, I’ll work with you one-on-one over four in-depth sessions to turn your raw ideas into a refined, commercially viable concept for a TV series, film, or novel. Using my structured interview process, I’ll help you craft a clear, compelling roadmap so you can move forward with confidence.

By the end of our time together, you’ll have a robust 20-40 page outline—in your voice, with your vision—that makes tackling your first draft easier than you ever thought possible.

  • Save yourself months (or years) of frustration

  • Fast-track your story’s success with my expert guidance

  • Take the guesswork out of writing—start with a solid blueprint

Let’s bring your story to life. Are you ready to forge something great?

Your voice. Your ideas. Your vision.

“Perhaps no single choice a writer makes is more important than the story concept, often the key determinant whether a script sells or not.”

-- Scott Myers

How It Works

Story Forge™ is a fun, one-on-one deep dive into your story—just you and me, working together to bring your concept to life. As an award-winning writer and development executive, I’ll guide you through a fast-moving, collaborative process that helps you refine and strengthen your story—without the frustration of going in circles.

Step 1: Define & Explore

We start with what you have—a logline, a rough idea, or just a spark of inspiration—and use targeted exercises to build a strong foundation.

Step 2: Deep-Dive Development

Through a series of guided discussions, we’ll explore:
✔ Genre & Emotional Resonance – What type of story are you best suited to write? How do you ensure it connects emotionally?
✔ Your Unique Voice & Brand – What makes your writing irreplaceable? What do you stand for? How can your personal experiences add depth and authenticity?
✔ Marketability & Positioning – How do industry pros see your idea? How can you describe, package, and sell it effectively?
✔ Character & Conflict – Your protagonist’s arc, relationships, and challenges will be carefully mapped out for maximum impact.
✔ Theme & Meaning – What deeper message drives your story? Learn a simple, powerful method for weaving in theme effortlessly.
✔ Structure & Pacing – We’ll build a detailed story roadmap, hitting all the key twists, turns, and emotional payoffs audiences crave.

Step 3: Your Story Blueprint

At the end of the process, you’ll walk away with a clear, robust 20-40 page outline—a detailed, actionable plan to write your best story with confidence.

Writing doesn’t have to be guesswork. Let’s forge something great together.
