NEVER THE TIME, THE PLACE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE

The kids, the job, the animals, the space.

You want to be a writer but...

The reality is there's never the time, the quiet, the vacant spot - you set aside Sunday but something interrupts – you organise a friend's flat for the day and the dog gets sick. And when you do get to write, your heart sings, you sit down – and you block

You block and you block and...

You can't get out of it and there's this script you're determined to write but you're stuck and in any case it's terrible and you can't afford a Writers' Retreat - on and on and what you want is what REAL writers have, which is quiet and money and hotel rooms and endless time and drinks after seven. 

Actually, no...

Professional writers have children and work and dogs that get sick and toilets that block but they cope and they write. Under pressure, to crazy deadlines, often on several jobs at a time because there's a technique to it, and it's one you could learn. 

You could learn it, write well, write fast. In the train, in the car during the children's music lesson, in any small pocket of time. It can help you with blocking. It can give you insights into your personal story process. 

It can stun you with your own unexpected imaginative strength, and with that of course, comes confidence, resilience - and you on the first step to picking up jobs like the pros.

Linda Answers Your FAQ

    About five to seven hours a week, but you’ll find it fun. It really increases your confidence because you realise you will always have this amazing technique to get ideas. Really, the more you practice the better. When you leave the course you’ll find yourself using the story muscle techniques all the time in your writing.

  • Can I do this course on its own?

    By all means! Actually, I get people to do it as a prerequisite for my other courses because it’s such a powerful tool it helps with every kind of writing.

  • I’m not sure I’m at the right level for this.

    Anyone of any level of writing experience can do it and benefit from it (when I was writing novels for young adults, I once taught it to a group of nine-year-old children, including one boy who hated writing stories. His mother wrote to me and told me he’d used the Story Muscle to write a story - and had won a national children’s Creative Writing competition run by Nestlé. She said he was now planning to become a writer!)








What People Are Saying About Linda Aronson

"She has transformed my writing."

Diana Juhr DeBenedetti, Makelight Productions

I truly enjoy working with Linda. As a mentor, not only is she incredibly wise, caring and brilliantly creative, she wrote the book on the art of crafting and creating a story, and she has this fine-tuned emotional intelligence to match her magical cognitive powers. Her methods work. They are clear and simple yet powerful tools. She understands people and scriptwriting and the industry, and she communicates all these ideas with ease. She has reduced my mean and disturbingly stressful inner critic to an old friend who only stops by when needed. She is a wonderful teacher and I thank her for mentoring me and also for her patience and fabulous sense of humour. She has transformed my writing. I hope my mentorship never ends.

"The 21st Century Screenplay is an essential guide for the 21st century screenwriter."

Paul Thompson, Tisch Film and TV school, New York University

As a screenwriting teacher at New York University I recommend a broad spectrum of textbooks to my students. I tend to the view that most of these books offer something of value and each of them is essentially as good as the person who reads them. In the case of Linda Aronson’s work I make an exception. The 21st Century Screenplay addresses areas not covered by others. The book provides the services of a personal script editor, dramaturg, or even co-writer. It functions as a manual as well as a road map. The 21st Century Screenplay is an essential guide for the 21st century screenwriter. When setting out on a journey it always helps to take a map. The 21st Century Screenplay is a special kind of road map because it encourages us to explore uncharted territory. Enjoy this book. Don’t leave home without it.
