PETER ZUCKERMAN

It’s hard to be a successful writer unless you can get readers to care about what you write. That’s what this class is all about, and I think it will level up my ability to tell a good story.

I especially appreciated how this class focused on what’s useful to writers, not just theoretical concepts. I learned specific sentence-level, paragraph-level, scene-level, and story-level techniques to make my stories more emotionally resonant. I practiced these techniques and got feedback on them so that I can effectively layer them into the stories I write.

I doubt I would have learned these techniques anywhere else, because I’ve never seen a book, lecture, class, or seminar that covers the same material, even though such material is foundational to storytelling. Scott was a phenomenal teacher who gave me a new framework for writing, and I found this class inspiring.
