Story Coaching

If you are an aspiring storyteller, someone just getting started or someone looking for a new way to grow your skills, Story Coaching offers a unique way to do just that. It is not just limited to writing, but includes all forms of storytelling, such as running role-play games or acting. With me as your Story Coach, your understanding of story will improve dramatically.

I am specialized in Speculative Fiction - which includes Science-Fiction and Fantasy - but the tools, knowledge and insights you will gain through Story Coaching are applicable to all forms of narrative, from biographies to screenplays, even non-fiction works (non-fiction still requires dramatic and engaging narrative through-lines to keep people hooked.)

One On One Coaching

I offer story coaching to individuals who need that extra push to get their writing done. Whether you need help with story structure, outlines, character development, or a boost to the uniqueness of your setting, I can provide tools and an experienced mind to do just that.

I guide you through the process of writing your story, bringing up important questions you might otherwise miss and forcing a deep dive that will leave your story much stronger by the end.

I also run brainstorming sessions to help you generate the great ideas you need to write an awesome story - and they will be your ideas to use as you see fit.

Group Coaching

Perhaps you are a group of writers who could use a booster to your writing skills and would like to grow together. I can provide group sessions for up to 5 people, in which we will take on various writing subjects together. Subjects will be relevant to the group, and we will effectively workshop everyone’s stories to give them a dramatic boost.

If a more structured experience is what your group desires, I will take you through an entire 10 week course on writing, with a focus on Science Fiction and Fantasy, but with an abundance of tools that can be used universally on any story.

 

Game Master and role-play related coaching

Story isn’t just confined to writing. Role-play games such as Dungeons & Dragons offer a different way to explore stories, creating an immersive experience in which a group tells an interactive story together.

As a forever Dungeon Master, I can teach you how to use the same tools for writing a novel and apply them to your role-play games. We can work on building out your campaign world, strengthen your preparation for running sessions and generally turn your game into a truly fun and rewarding experience for all involved.

I provide an abundance of tools and idea for improvisation during a session, as well as for shaping the narrative in the aftermath of the players’ choices and actions - which are usually crazy enough to surprise even the most experienced DMs.

Scenes for actors/actresses, and character development

If you’re an actor/actress and want to hone your skills with custom material, I can help you develop your character “wardrobe” as it were. We can discuss the places in your craft you wish to strengthen, and construct scenes that will provide you the tinder to do so.

If for example you wish to explore a certain emotion, I will write out a scene that we have together discussed that allows you to focus in on that emotion. This personal touch might be exactly what you need to draw on your inner fire and take the next step as a performer.
