The Science of Storytelling is a compelling online talk hosted on personal skill-sharing site, YIP, by UK author and journalist Will Storr. His masterclass takes a radical new approach to storytelling, starting not with plot but with character. Learn how the brain creates its sense of self and turns the events of our lives into stories – and how you can utilise these insights to make your own stories more profound, gripping and memorable.
Using great examples of storytelling in fiction, film and screen, and whether you're working for print or digital platforms, you’ll leave the course with new perspectives on your own work and a greater understanding of the neurological common ground of all audiences.
