Understanding Conflict in Story: A Comprehensive Guide
Every compelling story hinges on three core elements: characters, setting, and conflict. While often the most challenging aspect to master, conflict is fundamental to narrative. This course demystifies conflict, providing a clear and actionable framework for writers of all levels.
Learn the power of "High Concept" – a term widely used in publishing and film to describe easily understandable stories with strong, archetypal stakes. We'll break down the core ideas behind each type of conflict, enabling you to immediately apply these concepts to your own writing.
This course is based on the curriculum I've delivered at prestigious events like ThrillerFest, the premier conference for thriller writers, and universities as part of my intensive 24-hour "Anatomy of Story" course.
