Using Tropes, Genre, and Supportive Writing Software to Help You Write and Sell More

As writers, screenwriters, directors, and producers we strive to create content that is insightful, popular, and profitable. What's interesting is that using "tropes", what some might call storytelling clichés, actually makes that easier. Sometimes in our desire to create something unique and uniquely interesting, we go out of our way to avoid relying on these key elements and it makes it much harder for audiences to understand our work. 

In this set of recorded workshops we address:

• What tropes are and why they are critical to creating popular fiction
• Why people "buy" tropes and how they look for them in covers, posters, and advertisement
• How advancing age can lead us to use tropes that are out of fashion. 
• Where to find lists of tropes by genre and media.
• How work can rely on tropes and still be entirely unique and why that translates into "new classics" lots of people love. 
• Where to find Story Generators, Plot Factories and other supportive writing software that can help you write and sell more.
• How consciously using tropes makes writing easier and faster. 

This free recorded workshop comes with two supporting videos, two workbooks, and a spreadsheet that helps speed up writing film/tv treatments, and series bibles.
