The Secrets Behind the Success of Hollywood and Writers such as
J.K. Rowling, Stephen King and Nora Roberts
Welcome Pansters and Plotters to the behind-the-scenes secrets to good, solid, well-crafted writing that enables writers like Nora Roberts, J.K. Rowling and Stephen King to be the writing stars that they are. These are the same writing secrets that generate billions of dollars every year for Hollywood’s movie and TV studios as well.
Over the next four weeks we are going to take a journey together as fellow writers that will enable all of us to kick our writing up to new levels that many of us could only dream about before. We are going to be able to do that thanks to a level of story and character development that most writers have never even hear about – DEEP STORY.
DEEP STORY is the layers of techniques interwoven beneath the surface of all successful stories from HARRY POTTER to AVATAR. DEEP STORY is what will allow you as a writer to captivate and delight your readers just like Nora Roberts does. DEEP STORY is what will allow your characters to live on in the hearts and minds of your readers just as J.K. Rowling’s do. DEEP STORY is what will allow you to make an indelible impression on readers just like Stephen King has been doing ever since CARRIE first went to her prom.
Stories are like houses. They must be built on a solid foundation by craftsmen who have the skill, knowledge and proper tools to construct the foundation needed to ensure that the walls don’t collapse or that the roof doesn’t leak the first time it rains. And that is exactly what you are going to learn over the next few weeks of this course. You are going to learn the secrets of how to build a rock solid foundation for both your story and your characters.
It’s easy to advise writers to “create believable characters” or to ensure that their story is “filled with conflict.” Giving advice is easy. It’s the doing it that is hard. Right? And why is it hard to do? Because little of that advice actually tells you HOW to fill your story with conflict or HOW to create believable characters that your readers will fall in love with. Or HOW to create the emotions that will bind your readers to your characters and story.
That is what we are going to learn in this course.
Once you know HOW, the doing is a lot easier. We have no control over the talent each of us is born with. But we can control and master the craft of writing. By strengthening our writing skills, the easier writing becomes. And the more our confidence in our abilities as writers grows and expands. And that is a WIN/WIN situation for every writer who is serious about their career.
About Carol Hughes

Dashing Alpha males, deadly killers, fictional red-haired mermaids, and celluloid heroes – she’s known them all. She’s navigated the killer-infested back alleys of Europe’s grandest cities and the shark-infested corridors of Hollywood’s studios – and picked up enough secrets and tips to make living – and writing – an adventure in itself.
