The Story Farm Live Workshop Series exists because the most important breakthroughs I've witnessed in over two decades of working with writers one-on-one don't happen on the page. They happen in the moment a writer finally understands why their character isn't working, or makes the one decision that unlocks everything they couldn't see before. These workshops are built to create those moments - not for one writer at a time, but for a room full of them. Every session is structured around a single, specific problem that working writers face in active development, and every session ends with writers holding something they can use the same day. A tool, a framework, a decision made, a scene generated that didn't exist before they showed up.
If you've worked with me one-on-one, you already know that my approach starts with character, moves through structure, and never loses sight of the emotional truth underneath both. These workshops are that same process - compressed, live, and interactive. They're the closest thing to sitting across from me in a development session without booking a private coaching engagement.
If you haven't worked with me before, they're the best possible introduction to how The Story Farm thinks about writing Click on any of. the options below, and you will be able to check out the individual offerings.

"I went from writing decent scripts that no one read, to crafting fully fleshed out stories with a clear voice that have been read by multiple studios."
"My work garnered a shopping agreement, an option, interest from producers and managers, and placement in notable writing contests."
"Max's intervention in my screenwriting has been a revelation. Every writer should have a Max."
