Our 3-Day Workshop offers advanced training on the Key2Story Narrative Structure as well as other important aspects of storytelling such as theme and characters. This workshop also includes dedicated time for manuscript and plot reviews, so that you can apply the techniques from the week to your current project with a trained analyst.
Our presenters have been trained in the Key2Story Narrative structure, which gives insights into your stories that you won’t find anywhere else. This method will better enable you to connect with your target audience and get to the heart of your story, thus giving you solutions to the weaknesses and problems inherent in the manuscript that feel organic to the story itself—the kind of problems most critics will point out but have no solution for. This also helps enable you as the author to not just be a “one-hit wonder” with one successful title that can never quite be repeated, but create a strong career as an author.
The Key2Story narrative structure is useful for anyone who works with story, from fiction to nonfiction, including authors, screenwriters, marketing specialists, film critics, actors, and more. Attendees of this class have gone on to win awards, find publishing houses, and navigate successful careers.
“This course is life changing—not only for me, but my characters! I will never watch a movie or read a book the same way again because of the content of this class.”

“The information regarding the Story Cone is a great way for me to make sure I am setting up the strongest plot/characters I can.”
~Perry Morris, Children of the Blessing (2015)~
“The analysis I learned in the Story Cone workshops pointed me directly to plot solutions I needed to finish my novel. I had been stuck on a crucial element of the climax that wasn’t yielding the ending I wanted, and the Story Cone Method along with Amy White’s consultation made my options very clear. With the Story Cone Method, I could tell the story I wanted to tell and do it with intention, knowing how to get to the ending with the emotional resonance I had envisioned. My agent tells me that the emotional resonance of that ending is one of the reasons she offered to represent me.”
~Celesta Remington, The Elephant’s Girl (2020)~
