TRANSFORM YOUR WRITING
In Spark Your *Visual* Story I’ll show you how to:
Write through blocks and tackle difficult subject matter
Focus and organize your material
Craft your experiences into shapely, compelling narratives
Create a deep connection with readers
Surprise and delight editors who have "seen it all"
Explore the creative possibilities... in this convenient and flexible self-study format with lifetime access to all materials.
You'll read sample essays by Katharine Haake, Monet Patrice Thomas, Eric LeMay, Randon Billings Noble, Erica Trabold, and Christine Wilks that exemplify how form and craft work together to create powerful stories.
In addition to the course readings, author Q + A's and skill-building pre-writing exercises, you'll be invited to complete four new creative nonfiction projects—one essay in each form.
By the end of the program, you'll understand the importance of structure for crafting memorable stories, and will have the tools to write stronger, more powerful personal narratives.
Whether you’re new to creative non-fiction—or an experienced writer ready to get experimental! — this course has everything you need to start telling your stories in innovative new ways that will connect with readers and make an unforgettable impact.
Note: This program does NOT include live calls, 1:1 coaching or feedback.
