Storytelling is the root of all human experience.
It's how we understand the world.

Connecting with customers and clients means understanding the art of narrative. You need to tell stories well, communicate clearly, and think creatively. We can help.

We offer personalized storytelling and narrative workshops for copywriting, advertising, marketing, PR, and other departments within startups and large companies. Our private workshop faculty is made up of experienced instructors who will lead your creative team through the structures and strategies of narrative for your brand, advertising, or creativity goals. Whether you're hoping to work on a specific marketing campaign, develop a better feedback environment, or encourage creativity among your staff, we're available to plan a workshop or retreat for your organization.

How it works

Each workshop we run is designed to order. We'll send you a short survey asking about your organization and its needs. Then we’ll use your responses to build a workshop unique to your creative team, tailored to the goods or services you provide and the storytelling challenges involved. We draw on the teaching modules we've developed over years of leading writing classes and workshops on three continents. We can work with you to develop a specific project, build professional writing skills, or just help give your team a fun and creative development day. We’ve run workshops for companies and organizations of all sizes.
