A Story is a Promise: Classes and Workshops Schedule, including the Screenwriting Expo

A Story
is a Promise

A third edition of A Story is a Promise and Deep Characterization is now available. This new edition explores how some writers struggle because they make a main character an extension of the author to act out personal issues. A short video about the new work is available; a longer video is included with the book.

A Story is a Promise & Deep Characterization is available using this PayPal link. The cost of $17.95 includes media mail shipping in the United States.

Overseas mailing, including mailing to Canada, $24.95.

Script Services
I review screenplays, novel manuscripts, and plays.

I've created a site on YouTube called Oregon Writers Speak. It includes two clips by Elizabeth Lyon speaking about writing query letters and writing with voice and myself speaking about deep characterization.

I'm teaching a workshop on Narrative Tension at the Write on the Sound Conference, October 5th, in Edmonds, Washington.
