Success Stories

Hear from those who transformed their storytelling skills

Josh, Teacher:

"You get what you put into this course, and Jim matches that, and then some. This course really stepped up my own personal understanding of Dramatica. With thinking not as the main character, but as the author. And a throughline as the motivational inequity of each perspective. As someone who was familiar to the theory and working with Dramatica, there were still some inklings of confusion that not only were cleared up, but the integrated and cooperative exercises within the course made it engaging and thought-provoking. With constant Q/A this is the course if you really want to create a strong foundation if you're about to begin a story, or have just finished and need to figure out if EVERYTHING is there."

Cathy, Retired Librarian:

"This course is a ton of work. It will kick your butt. But it will also, I believe, revolutionize the way you approach your writing, and you will end up with a product that is massively better than if you had not taken this course and used Subtxt to help plan your piece."
