About Joshua

I've written two feature-length screenplays and have been refining them through active revision — because I believe a writer who isn't still working on their craft has stopped growing. I've studied story craft through books like Story by Robert McKee, Invisible Ink by Brian McDonald, and Creating Character Arcs by K.M. Weiland — and I've spent years building original worlds across multiple formats. I didn't learn this in a classroom. I learned it by doing it, obsessing over it, and figuring out why some stories grip you and others fall flat.
I teach story structure and screenwriting because I genuinely believe most people aren't missing talent — they're missing the right framework. Once that clicks, everything changes.

About the lesson

Bring your idea. Seriously — half-formed, messy, whatever stage it's in. We're going to talk through it, find what's working, and figure out what it actually needs.
I'm not here to write your story for you. I'm here to give you the principles that make stories work — so that whether you're writing a screenplay, a comic, a manga, or a novel, you walk away knowing why something lands and how to execute it yourself.
By the end of our sessions, you won't just have a better story. You'll understand story — and that's a skill that doesn't expire.

I cover:
• Screenwriting
· Story Structure
· Character Arcs
· Narrative Development
· Comic & Manga Writing
