Do you feel like you have a whole host of ideas rattling around in your head but have no idea which one to focus on? Do you want guidance and advice as you prepare something new? Do you want a weekly meeting with tailored assignments to hold you accountable as you develop your next project?
If you said yes to any of these, then an Incubator is just what the doctor ordered! This four-week class will put you through your development paces and ensure that you get writing on the best foot possible.
This Class Will Cover:
- Story structure
- Keeping conflict interesting and escalating
- Crafting satisfying character arcs
- And more!
Focus on what it's about and why you want to tell the story, rather than explaining what happens in the entire story.
Distinct projects that have commercial hooks and a clear audiences in mind. Big ideas in small packages are particularly attractive to me, including genre pieces that tell exciting, engaging stories with complex and relatable characters.
period dramas, giant scale original science fiction stories, and highly esoteric subjects are less interesting to me

Jay was very insightful, incredibly helpful, and very generous of his time. A "real person" who told you like it is in the industry. Seemed to have great instincts and a great handle on the market. I couldn't have been happier.
