Story Tools is a class structured for storytellers in TV, film, and novels to better understand story and how to heighten the emotion and connect with your audience. Jen Grisanti will do this through showing the value of log lines for your life transforming into log lines for your story, building powerful dilemmas that stem into clear goals, and having your goals connect back to all the pivotal points in your story. Her goal is to have you draw from your emotional well and add fiction to your truth so that your audience can feel you in your story. REGISTER HERE

Working my way thru the exercises in Jennifer Grisanti's amazing Story Line... it's already starting to feel like this is exactly what my writing needs. Staggering, yet simple. Straightforward, but challenging... mind altering. In a way, she makes you face what you've been hiding from inside your writing, and what your writing is hiding from you. ~ Mark Benedict
