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
I've done a lot of writing courses before but Billy's course is the first that really unlocked the secret to longer form storytelling.
In the past, my scripts would be lacking key elements and I would lose confidence in my writing, the story and eventually just give up. But now, I have a really clear roadmap when I sit down to write and I know that it not only works, but that it will help me to write stories that are so much more compelling than I ever could have hoped for.
100% recommend!
David Winn
Award-winning Director/Writer
Writing has long been a dream of mine. That was why working with Billy was such a breath of fresh air. My screenplay was not much more than a few basic sketches of scenes and characters. Yet, by simply following along with Billy’s course I found my ideas becoming clearer and more vivid. I refined my theme, developed my characters and world, and the material quickly started building up.
My excitement for writing returned and I now know exactly what needs to be fixed and how to do it. I’ve not felt this enthused and optimistic about writing in years.
Jack Harding
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 script, 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.
