The Art of Storytelling with Tom Bromley

In this masterclass with Tom Bromley, you will learn:

  • The history of storytelling and how we make sense of the world 
  • Two theories on storytelling, and how to apply them to your writing 
  • The three C’s – change, causal links, and complications – that drive your plot forward 
  • How to infuse your writing with storytelling through the strategy of doubling up 

Please note that this masterclass is pre-recorded and will not be streamed live. The webinar was originally aired as part of the How to Write a Novel course, which Tom occasionally refers to throughout the session.
