Online Mentoring
Premise-to-Pitch is a step-by-step, creative writing programme, with the emphasis on one-to-one video consultation. Although there are plenty of good creative writing books on the market, the development of a story thrives better on conversation.
Premise-to-Pitch:
This programme guides a story (fiction or non-fiction) through the stages of Premise + Plot/Structure; Creating Credible Characters; Point of View (Narrative Perspective); Theme + Symbolism & Motif; The Writer’s Toolbox (Narrative Techniques & Elements of Grammar); and finally, to an agent-ready Pitch.
We start with the mechanics of writing, the necessary components that constitute a solid story structure, and then move on to narrative techniques and elements of grammar, which determine writing style.
You can follow the modules in sequence, or pick and mix according to the areas you want to concentrate on. If you already have a completed story that you’re happy with, then you can jump straight to the Pitch module.
These Premise-to-Pitch modules cover the areas of storytelling that apply to both fiction and non-fiction, but there is also a separate module available which provides more specific and practical guidance on the formatting and selling of your non-fiction, whether it be articles, autobiography/biography, or memoir.
Supplementary video sessions are also available, either to help with the modules or to discuss topics of your own choosing.
Before you purchase any of the modules, please feel welcome to get in touch for a FREE AND NO OBLIGATION VIDEO CHAT. Are the modules right for you? You need to be sure. The sharing of your creative thoughts can be an intimate process, so it’s important to feel comfortable with whomever you choose to share them.
