Transform Your Writing Through Active Practice

Diana BotsfordLearn by doing.

Stories don’t just happen on the page – they come alive through deliberate craft, practical feedback, and guided exploration. As a writer, producer, and educator with decades of experience spanning television, film, novels, and interactive media, I’ve long since believed that learning through doing provides the most effective opportunity to deepen your skill while moving forward in the development of your work – be it a short story, a novel, a stageplay, screenplay, or teleplay.  When you’re personally invested, you’re open to the learning experience. It’s a win-win for your project and your overall writerly skillset.

My Workshop Promise

Every class combines three essential elements:

  • Hands-on writing exercises that put theory into immediate practice
  • Live feedback sessions that sharpen your creative instincts
  • Industry-tested techniques that work across all storytelling mediums

Whether you’re crafting your first screenplay, developing a novel, or honing your genre expertise, you’ll leave each session with concrete progress on your project and practical tools for your writer’s toolkit.
