Storywright Method is a hands-on workshop series for fiction writers who want more than inspiration. You get repeatable frameworks for structure, character, and pacing, plus weekly live Q&A sessions and annotated examples from contemporary novels. Whether you are drafting your first short story or revising a full manuscript, the exercises are built to move you forward.
Straight answers about how the workshops run, what feedback looks like, and whether this fits your current draft.
Begin with the story structure module. It walks you through mapping your existing scenes onto a three-act framework, so you see where momentum drops before you rewrite anything. Most writers finish this module with a scene-by-scene outline they can revise against.
You submit up to 5,000 words per session. A trained reader returns margin notes on pacing, dialogue, and scene transitions, plus a one-page summary that prioritizes the biggest structural issues. You then bring those notes to the weekly live Q&A to ask follow-up questions.
Yes. Each module starts with a short annotated example from contemporary fiction, then moves into a worksheet that builds one skill at a time. Beginners can work through them at their own pace, while experienced writers can skip ahead to the revision-focused prompts.
The same frameworks apply, but the pacing exercises scale up. You will learn to diagnose sagging chapters, track character arcs across multiple subplots, and use the revision checklist to tighten prose without losing your voice. Several current members are working on novels in the 70,000 to 90,000 word range.
They are optional but recommended. Each session is recorded, so you can watch later. The live format helps when you are stuck on a specific scene or want feedback on how you applied a worksheet to your own draft.
Downloadable worksheets, annotated examples from published fiction, and a pacing guide you can reuse across projects. There are no hidden extras; the materials are designed to be printed or used digitally, whichever suits your workspace.
Bring your rough draft to our next workshop session. You will leave with a scene-level revision plan, not just general advice. Our editors read your pages before you arrive, so the feedback is specific to your manuscript.
Book a Manuscript SessionEvery module is built around a repeatable framework, not vague advice. You leave each session with a worksheet, a marked-up example, and a concrete next step for your own manuscript.
Learn to measure tension scene by scene. We map rising action, spot filler passages, and rebuild sluggish middles using a simple escalation checklist you can apply to any draft.
Practice writing dialogue that sounds like your protagonist, not like every other character. Exercises focus on word choice, rhythm, and what your characters leave unsaid.
Bring up to fifteen pages for a line-level read. You get margin notes on structure, clarity, and style, plus a recorded summary you can revisit during your next revision pass.
Work through annotated examples from contemporary novels to see how openings, turning points, and resolutions actually function. Then apply the same patterns to your own story.
Join a small group session every week to ask about plot holes, character motivation, or pacing problems. Bring your current page and leave with a clear direction for the next draft.
Each module includes a printable worksheet that walks you through the framework step by step. Use it while drafting, revising, or preparing pages for a feedback session.
