Writers asked every year for the last 10 years and it’s now finally available — The Art of Story Online Course.

Margaret provides a fool-proof overview of story structure - the keys to help you whether you’re writing a screenplay, novel, or memoir. Then, every Sunday, Margaret posts a new lesson keyed to a monthly theme and unique writing prompts for that week. She designs her story starters according to the principals of classic story structure.

Not your ordinary "sense memory" exercises or the ubiquitous "write a scene from two points of view" game, these story starters point you to key turning points in your story. When you finish all 52 weeks, you will have addressed major plot points which shape your story.
