the instructors

Lisa Cron

Lisa Cron is a renowned story coach to authors and filmmakers and the best-selling author of Wired for Story, on the neuroscience of story, Story Genius, and Story or Die.

Lisa has worked in publishing at W.W. Norton, as an agent at the Angela Rinaldi Literary Agency, as a producer on shows for Showtime and CourtTV, and as a story consultant for Warner Brothers and the William Morris Agency.

Since 2006, she's been an instructor in the UCLA Extension Writers' Program and she's on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts MFA program in the visual narrative in New York City.

‍

“Lisa Cron has studied the science and architecture of powerful stories for decades. She translates her knowledge into a compelling storytelling guide for anyone with an idea to spread or a cause to advance. If you want to change how others see the world, [she] will show you how.”

‍

—BERNADETTE JIWA, CREATOR OF THE STORY SKILLS WORKSHOP

“Lisa Cron is authoritative, compelling, and always worth listening to. If storytelling is important to your work in any way, [this] is essential."

‍

— ANDY GOODMAN, DIRECTOR, THE GOODMAN CENTER

“You completely changed the way I write and you’ve made it a million times more fun. And easier. I was making things happen rather than having my main character make them happen so the whole thing was becoming a bit of a struggle and a big, fat mess. Thank you!”

‍

— LOUISA HAMILTON WHITE

“A practical, heartfelt manual for anyone who needs to change minds and actions. Lisa Cron shares the art of practical empathy with leaders who care enough to make a difference."

‍

- SETH GODIN, BEST SELLING AUTHOR
