The Write Questions

Master the language of Story with award-winning author Daniel Schwabauer. Great writing is about more than the words you use. It’s about tapping into the emotional needs and expectations of your audience. In this one-hour class we will focus on the five creative elements of story that undergird every compelling narrative. Not only will you understand how stories work, you will never read a book or watch a movie the same way again.
