The Write Journey is an interactive, intimate, and introspective journey into the world of story, empowering you to take ownership of the creative journey, and creative expression.
If you want to write a story, The Write Journey will take you from inspiration, through fully developing your idea, characters, and plotting, to writing your first pages.
Grounded in the principles of Classical design created 4000 years ago, The Write Journey is instinctive and universal. It’s uniquely two courses blended into one, turning ideas into a successful story while learning about yourself.
Under the mentorship of Daniel Dercksen, who founded The Writing Studio 25 years ago, this comprehensive course guides writers through the process of crafting a story from inspiration to writing the first pages.
The Writing Studio has shaped the successful careers of many of South Africa’s leading filmmakers and storytellers and is now honing the skills of future writers in the art and craft of storytelling.
The Write Journey is an interactive course for writers and turns the voice in your head into an actual narrative.
There are 12 Units in the course, each with Self-Tasks that you must research and complete in your own time. You will submit these tasks to your mentor to ensure you’re on the right track. Throughout this process, your mentor is there to help you understand the material and solve any problems.
The course is conducted online, via email correspondence, offering you a one-on-one interaction with your mentor.
The Write Journey is ideal for Screenwriters, Novelists and Playwrights.
