WORKSHOPS

 

 

Craftwrite's Trai Cartwright brings her expertise in all genres and in the business of writing to the unique workshops she presents across the country. Through humorous insight and practical application, she elevates the craft and confidence of every storyteller.

For Every Writer, In Every Genre,
Trai Knows Why:

  • Theme is the most essential building block in storytelling.

  • Every writer pens the same story over and over again -- and why it's a good thing!

  • Mastering the Rules of World Building empowers every choice you make as a storyteller.

  • Employing the 15 Elements found in every great movie can better EVERY story.

  • Some ideas stick and some ideas fail -- and how to tell the difference.

  • Being a reader and audience member makes you an intuitively powerful storyteller -- and how to unlock that knowledge.

  • Marketing & Business Development are as important to the modern writer as your stories -- here's how not to get Biz Blocked!

For the Aspiring Screenwriter,
Trai teaches:

  • Screenwriting Formatting is not only a piece of cake, it's a blast.

  • Screenwriting is the ideal way to learn character deverlopment, arcs and story structure -- and how they are intrisictly tied together.

  • Movies are made of circles and mirrors, and how they can supercharge your story.

  • All of the film industries secrets about breaking in. Hollywood is only a phone call away!
