One-on-one writing coach. To nail the start of your story.
Screenplays, novels, comics, presentations, product one-sheets...
They’re all stories. And when your opening is strong, the response can be, too. Let’s make that happen for you.
One session. One story you’ll be proud of.
Forget job titles. You’ve written something. So you’re a writer.
But maybe you’re not getting the response you want from friends, agents, spouses, yourself... You know something isn’t working. But you don’t know what.
Or you don’t know how to fix it.
That’s where I can help.
This is The Big Open
I read the first 10-20 pages of your story, script, novel, autobiography, presentation, etc.
We meet. I share 3 things that are great. And 3 substantial observations that will make it greater.
We make the opening of your story sing. We give it The Big Open.
In all, it’s 1 read and 1 meeting (1.25 hours).
You’ll come away with actionable items that will make your story stronger.
Think of it as your own personal writing workshop.
Cost: $200
About your story coach
I’m Shawn Patrick Boyd. I make my living as a writer. I love helping others with their writing.
20 years as an advertising copywriter (portfolio). (Ads are stories told fast.)
I’ve written it all: screenplays, comics/graphic novels, commercials, speeches, short stories, newspaper articles, and much more.
I believe that if you’ve written something, you’re a writer. Doesn’t matter what your job title is. Or what your paycheck says.
I believe good feedback leaves you inspired—not deflated.
I believe the value of our creations has nothing to do with the money they make.
I believe creativity gives more than any vacation, car or object. It gives us a life. And it’s worth taking seriously.
When the opening of your story is strong, readers keep reading. That’s why we focus there.
