This course is simply unparalleled and the way this breaks down storytelling makes it easy for any writer to understand the components that lie at the heart of every compelling narrative.
Parambir Singh
Writer
Billy is amazing when it comes to exploring where story can go. He understands the hows, wheres and whys of when a beat should land and really helped me to understand and enforce these structural rules whilst still holding true to the integrity of the story I wanted to tell. Billy was a great help when it came to exploring themes and character arcs, sending me down some long and winding roads to build the world I was creating into a fully realised place, crammed with nuanced, complicated people.

Before I found this course I was struggling to find the theme in my story and felt like I didn’t know what I wanted to say. Working with this process was clear and concise and now I feel like I’m in a stronger position.
Dan Evans

I wrestled with writing a captivating story, rejections left, right and centre, issues with lack of plot and events. What was different about working with Billy’s process was the structure and list of requirements to fulfil for a story to work - very effective and needed! When he was talking about character, plot and events, I realised that I had a character-heavy story and occasional events with no real plot happening. Now I feel more hopeful, with more direction.

So supportive when I wrote a recent pilot. The final script has opened a lot of doors for me and I am so grateful for all of Billy’s incredibly sharp feedback and encouragement.
Ed Cripps

Being unsure and conflicted about how to proceed with my writing and where to focus my energy, I felt frustrated, overwhelmed and indecisive. This enabled me to see the through-lines in my writing and subjects, and to therefore be more strategic with where I focused next. Billy is very market savvy which is invaluable. He was able to advise on how to position myself and which projects have a better chance of being produced.
