Build Better Stories — Without Guesswork

Every great novel, movie, or TV show is built on structure.

But most writers don’t realize just how many options they have.

That’s why I created this free training — to walk you through the story structures that bestselling authors, screenwriters, and creators use every day, so you can see how they work… and how you can use them yourself.

What You’ll Get Inside

What You’ll Get Inside

• The 10 most popular story structures every writer should know
• Another 20 structures you can use instead — or mix and match with the top 10
• Genre examples for each structure (so you know when to use them)
• A simple sample plot outline for every structure, generated with ChatGPT, so you can instantly see it in action

For example:

“Give me a detailed plot outline for a comedy novel based on Dan Harmon’s Story Circle.”

You’ll see how the structure translates into a real, usable plot — one you can adapt for your own story.
