I took a fantastic online story structure course with award-winning author and screenwriter, Jeff Bender, who illuminated the Hero’s Journey for me. A big thank you to Jeff for teaching the classes and inspiring the learning that stirred this manuscript into being. [He’s] been unfailingly kind and encouraging through all the tiny steps and successes my fledgling-novel has accrued. Take classes with Jeff, and read his writing!
—Wendy Warren, author of The Butcher’s Apprentice
Jeff’s enthusiasm regarding story structure in film, TV, and fiction helped me push through and create a scaffolding that served me very well as I worked on my novel Mice 1961. I still have the index cards I put together in his class, pasted into a memory book.
