Write for a Living
The Business of Building a Successful Writing Career
Writing well is only half the job.
Making a living as a dramatic writer requires strategy, structure, and an understanding of how the industry actually works.
Write for a Living is a course designed to demystify the business of writing and help you build a career that lasts—across narrative mediums, markets, and inevitable industry shifts. This course is not about craft basics. It’s about how writers survive, adapt, and thrive: how they choose lanes, build portfolios with purpose, and sustain a successful, money-making creative life without burnout or delusion.
Whether you’re just starting out or already working but feeling the need to grow, this course gives you the tools, language, and perspective to stop guessing and start expressing yourself creatively for a living.

Professional Dramatic Writing
Story, Character, and Structure for Entertainment Writers
Great drama isn’t accidental.
It’s built through an understanding of story structure, character psychology, conflict, and escalation through a repeatable process used by professional writers working in entertainment.
Professional Dramatic Writing is an 8-week, live online writing course designed for writers working in or interested in film, television, comics, games, narrative podcasts, theater, and even novel writing. The course teaches how dramatic stories actually work, and how professionals approach the craft across entertainment and narrative mediums. Through writing, workshopping, and group engagement, the course focuses on the essential building blocks of dramatic writing: structure, crafting characters, clear stakes, and meaningful conflict that drives a story forward. Students learn how to construct dramatic work intentionally so their writing is not only expressive, but engaging, producible, and effective across formats.
