The Credits

Ian Kay
Hi, there! My name is Ian Kay. By day I'm a writing professor, and by night I'm a dad. And whenever I find a spare moment, I study narratology & doodle triangles. This is a class that I always wanted to take, but it didn't exist. So I made it myself! Hopefully it can help you plan an even better story than you were going to tell.

My Objectives
This class	Version 2. New lessons… with less staring at me while I lecture, and more movie clips & example stories & creative challenges! Plus a dark mode for the website.
A sequel class	Interactive Storytelling! How to tell a story that your audience can play along with & contribute to. Commonly featured in theme parks, escape rooms, and video games... but you can design one for any artform!
