Story-Argument Strategy Intensives
with Margy Thomas, Ph.D.
Unlock the power and purpose in your project
If you've been struggling to find the shape of your work-in-progress, a Story-Argument Strategy Intensive can help you structure your project and plan how you’ll bring it to fruition. Each Strategy Intensive session is a standalone service that can focus on any whole project or aspect of a project, in any genre, whether or not you yet have a draft.
A Strategy Intensive with Margy Thomas, Ph.D., creator of the Story-Argument model, can help you …
define an over-arching structure for your draft that is specific enough to focus your writing process yet flexible enough to evolve as you go.
design individual components of your project to fit within the project as a whole.
strategize how to work within or push against the boundaries of your discipline in ways that are constructive for your project.
situate your current project within your larger identity and goals as a scholar.
sketch the contours of a writing plan that can structure an upcoming sabbatical or period of intense creative work.
and more!
You submit homework and a writing sample before the session to ensure we hit the ground running and cover as much terrain as possible in our time together. Afterwards, you’ll receive an audio recording of the session, so no worries about trying to write everything down while we talk!
If you purchase multiple sessions, you can use them on the same project or split them across multiple projects. A 10% discount is available when purchasing four or more Strategy Intensives in a single transaction.
NOTE: If you’d prefer a comprehensive support structure for a large-scale project, check out the Story-Argument Foundations service package.
Story-Argument Strategy Intensives can help you unlock the power in your project and communicate that power to your readers.
