"Lisa literally changed my life and taught me the sky's the limit!"

You’ve got an idea for a story, a laptop waiting for you and a lighted candle BUT...

❎ But you can't seem to start writing.

❎ You doubt everything, even the lines your secretly love.

❎ You're missing clarity on plotting, structure, character.

❎ You have no idea what you're supposed to do.

❎ All of the writing advice is common knowledge - meaning that - you will feel like you had seen all of that writing advice before.

❎ You would love some help you're ashamed to show anybody what you have so far.

I get you. There is so much information out there and yet, you're still stuck.

No matter how much AI you may be using, it just can't replace expertise, and a good education and loving human support.

And the key to a great story, isn't just about some "writing tips" but it's the mix of:


The Narration basics you need to write a compelling story that works in whatever genre you pick.

The building of healthy Habits and Writing Rituals that help remove challenges, blocks, fears, impostor syndrome. Because writing is not just about the story. It's about its author as well.

A live support from a Writing Coach who gives you professional feedback and inputs, in a judgement-free environment.

You can know have it all. In one place.

WELCOME TO

In this self-paced 6-episode online course + three 1:1 Sessions with me,
you get everything you need to get your Story started.

By the end of the Course you will:


✅️ Empower to a new version of You

This course is made for you so that you can actually apply what you learn. There is no learning without also practicing. You'll go from feeling stuck to be used to try and experiment yourself. Forget perfectionism and embrace practice, practice, practice!


✅️ Keep access to your Course forever

God knows how many times I've rewatched my own writing teacher's online course. I still do before I write any new project. Because even if the material is the same, we as writers and creative, evolve. And we'll always pick up something new from the basics.


✅️ Have a deep Education in Storytelling

No more asking Chat Gpt to tell you what is the Three-act structure or what's the Midpoint in La La Land.
After you complete, you'll have a complete education on the Fundamentals of Storytelling that you'll apply to any story: be it a movie, short story or play.


✅️ Dive into Your project fearless

Education means knowledge. And knowledge means confidence. During this course you'll also have Lisa's support and you'll end up with a clearer vision of your story and writing goal. No more wondering around or procrastinating. Now you can actually dive in!

The Classes Episodes Modules

(Lifetime Access to Episodes)

A comprehensive self-paced online storytelling course for actors who want to learn how to transform their ideas into structured, compelling scripts ready to perform.
You’ll enjoy lifetime access, so you can revisit the material anytime at your own pace.

At the end of every episode, you’ll receive a thoughtfully designed weekly writing assignment to help you apply what you’ve learned.

CLASS 1

Opening Scenes

Learn how to get started, Master loglines, find your theme, and what pushes you to tell this story.

If you're just starting writing your story - or you've been trying for a long time with very few pages written - you can't miss this.

This module is about getting your clear on the strong basis for your story so that you can start writing with clarity. The main topics include:

Logline - the one tool you need to go from being confused to know what your story is really about

Genre Expectations - how to navigate them and set a tone that reflects your own voice

Theme - what is it and why you shouldn't impose it on your characters.

🎭 Case Studies: Fleabag, Blackbird, Chef, Every Brilliant Thing

🎬 Case Studies: Little Miss Sunshine, The Help, The Godfather, Green Book, Home Alone

CLASS 2

Character Discovery

Forget the pressure of having to "create". Discover what it means to listen to your characters.

If you think you need to be God or somekind blessed to write compelling characters - you'll love this module.

The writer's ego can get in the way when you think "you're creating characters". Let me tell you this: characters already exist somewhere. If they choose you to tell their stories, you'd better get ready to listen. You'll learn:

Discovering a character - (instead of creating) how this will save you from imposing plots or themes

• Your character's goal, need, fear and motivation - how to connect without losing your mind

Basics of human psychology - no need to kill anyone if you want to write about a serial killer or go and have five children if you're writing about a single mother

🎭 Case Studies: Mrs Sorken (Monologue), God of Carnage,

🎬 Case Studies: My Best Friend's Wedding, Finding Nemo, Poor Things

CLASS 3

Three Act Structure

Master plot points, understand how all stories are structured, and how to do it yourself too.

If the Three-act structure is something blurry, different according to any writer, and something you wish didn't exist - you're about to change perspective forever.

This module is about understanding The Three-Act Structure and how it is not imposed on the characters. But it comes from their journey naturally. You'll see:

  • Character's goal & Character's need - how to connect them and intersect plot and emotional journey.

  • Plot points - what they are, why their names don't actually matter.

  • Three-Act Structure - how to use it as a tool (and not let it use you!).

🎬 Case Studies: My Best Friend's Wedding, Interstellar

CLASS 4

Dialogue

Listen to them speaking: dialogue tricks, techniques to make your characters sound unique and original.

If your main character sounds like you talk and all your characters sound exactly the same - you can't miss this.

This module is about getting rid of the belief that dialogue is a natural talent and either writers have it or not. While there may be writers with a sharp pen (Hello, Amy S. Palladino!), dialoge is a skill and you'll learn:

  • Specific characters' words - how to have fun when writing it

  • Reverse expectations - let your dialogue sound natural and real

  • The Subtext - difference between the said and the unsaid that makes you feel like a true writer

🎬 Case Studies: Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Sideways, Little Women (2019)

CLASS 5

Writing Scenes

Write compelling and unforgettable scenes in your script, where emotion, conflict and stakes travel together.

If writing a scene seems like an impossible task, you're about to gain a new perspective.

This module is about learning how to structure each scene of your script, with simple and clear rules.

You'll see:

  • Main Scene Purposes - reveal character, advance the story, explore a theme, build visual context, establish conflict

  • The Main Questions - the golden questions you should ask yourself about each scene in revisions

🎭 Case Studies: Fleabag, Three Sisters

CLASS 6

Flashbacks and Voice overs

Flashbacks and Voice Overs are the most dangerous tools and the most beautiful when used effectively.

If your flashbacks and voice overs seem like they come out of nowhere, you're about to access the knowledge you've been missing.

This module is about understanding the reason why most flashbacks and voice over don't work in a narration and how to implement them smoothly.
You'll learn:

  • The Main Risks - "showing vs telling", potential to distract or annoy, limitation of dramatic tension, confusion, pacing disrupt

  • Useful Tools - creating the need, exposition, further conflict, advance the plot

🎭 Case Studies: The Phantom of the Opera

🎬 Case Studies: Jane the Virgin, All About Eve, Blade Runner

THE STORYTELLING WITH LOVE METHOD

I'm Lisa - Writing Coach who makes sure writers ALWAYS feel great about their story and themselves.

I guide writers like you to find your unique and irreplaceable point of view, immerge it in your authentic voice and bring your story to life.

Far from being just a a "technical coach", I teach you how to connect to your story, find your characters and unlock your creativity flow once and for all.

Forget questioning your dream, doubting yourself or feeling like you've "failed". Forget finding the "right time" to write. Forget "maybe one day I'll finish my book".

The magic starts today. I can't wait...Are you ready to start your writing journey?

Frequently Asked Questions

I've tried other writing courses, why is this different?

The biggest issues with most online writing courses are:

  • They're only a do-it-for-yourself approach. You watch the recorded classes and the show's over.

  • They focus on theory without helping you to implement what you've just learned.

That's exactly why I designed The Storytelling Series exactly like I did!
Because writing is not a one-approach experience and having constant support from the same experienced Coach who teaches you the theory part, is exactly what makes you stand from the people who don't even write Scene 1.

Will I get any 1:1 time with you?

OH YEAH BABY!
You get three 1:1 Zoom Sessions with me (60 minutes each).

Can I pay in installments?

Yes! There's a 2-month payment plan: 2 × €250.

What if I changed my mind, can I get a refund?

Let me just reassure you by telling you that it's not likely to happen!

No refunds will be granted as per industry standard. Once you purchase this course, you will have lifetime access, so you can come back to the recorded episodes to a more convenient time.

Lisa, I've got another question.

Shoot me an email at lisa@storytellingwithlove.com - I'll get back to you within 24 hours (Mon-Fri).
