Storytelling isn't just for fiction writers, or even for all writers. It's an art that's crucial to communication itself. This is a one-hour class on how to be a better communicator, by seeing the story in everything that happens to you.

This is a one-hour lecture on how to find inspiration as a storyteller. It doesn't focus on writing technique or style. It can just help you learn to see everything in your world in terms of storytelling. To turn your everyday experiences into stories that people will want to read and hear.

I've worked in Hollywood for the past 18 years, splitting my time between writing and sound engineering. I was the music editor on So You Think You Can Dance for five seasons, and recently I was the music editor and playback operator for Season 25...
