The Script Scholar

I want to thank Greg Ge**er for bringing me to the New York Institute of Technology's Canadian campus in Vancouver to give a keynote address to the faculty and staff there. What a pleasure it was. What bright, engaged people to work with. What a gorgeous building to work in. They make Vancouver proud.

I am thrilled to announce that my first experience at teaching on line courses on my own and not through institutions such as SFU has me excited to offer another writing course end of September.

This time I am offering it to anyone interested in harnessing the power of archetype in their writing.

We will be looking at the four most often seen archetypal characters in film.

What does Hollywood want and what do movie goers want to watch!

Writers of fiction will also benefit from this workshop.

This four week course examines four archetypes the innocent, the orphan , the hero and the lover.

Stay tuned to find out more
