The free Fundamentals course covers the four Story Types, moral transformation, and why character arcs and plot structure are the same thing. Six lessons. Thirty minutes. No credit card required.

In this course you'll learn:

  • The four universal Story Types that shape every narrative across genres and mediums
  • Why character arcs and plot structure are the same thing — not separate concepts to juggle
  • How moral choices drive transformation — the engine that makes audiences care
  • The difference between Hero and Villain Protagonists — and when to use each

Whether you're writing a novel, screenplay, game, or graphic novel — start here.
