The Sovereign Storyteller
A Workshop on Voice, Structure, and Career Positioning
If you have a finished or near-finished piece of writing but you’re not sure what it says about you as a writer, this workshop is designed to help you see it clearly.
What this is:
An 8-week small-group workshop where each writer brings one existing piece of work (script, essay, pilot, memoir chapter, or similar). We use that single piece as a diagnostic tool to understand:
• your voice
• your structural instincts
• and how your work positions you creatively and professionally
*This is not a generative writing class. We do not start from scratch. We work from what already exists.
Who this is for:
This is for writers who:
• Already have at least one substantial draft
• Suspect their work has a recognizable voice but can’t clearly define it
• Work in theater, film, TV, journalism, essays, or memoir
• Want clarity on what their work is actually doing, not just what it’s about
This Is Not For:
• Writers who are still looking for motivation to complete a first draft
• Writers who want general writing exercises or prompts
• Writers looking for line-by-line editing of multiple projects
What You’ll Leave With:
By the end of 8 weeks, you will have:
• A clear reading of how your work functions structurally and tonally
• A sharper understanding of your voice across form and content
• A grounded sense of how to position your work for next-stage development
• Direction for what to write, revise, or pitch next
How It Works:
Each week includes:
• Instructor-led analysis of craft and structure
• Case study breakdowns from professional work
• Live group feedback sessions focused on participant pieces
We focus deeply on one piece per writer throughout the entire workshop.
Weekly Focus:
1. What Your Work Is Actually Doing
2. Intent vs Execution
3. Choosing the Right Form
4. Voice Under Structure
5. Where Cohesion Breaks
6. Seeing Your Work Like an Editor Would
7. Positioning the Piece
8. Next Steps: Revision, Pitching, or Development
Details:
• 8 weeks
• Virtual
• 10 writers max
• $600 (payment plans available)
• September (exact dates TBD)
