The Bestseller Blueprint: Crafting High-Concept Story Ideas
Why take this course?
🎉 Welcome to the High-Concept Ideas for Books and Movies Course! 🎉
I'm Jessica Brody, and I've condensed my years of experience in writing and selling over twenty books into a comprehensive course designed to help you craft your own high-concept ideas. Whether you aim to captivate readers or audiences, the secret to success often lies in an idea that is both unique and universal, compelling and clear.
In this course, you will:
- Understand High-Concept: Learn what makes an idea "high-concept" and why it's so crucial for grabbing attention in a crowded marketplace.
- Brainstorm Effectively: Discover techniques to generate a wealth of ideas and select the ones with the most potential.
- Refine Your Concept: Develop your raw idea into a polished, marketable pitch that clearly conveys your story's hook.
- Market Your Idea: Explore strategies for presenting your high-concept idea to agents, editors, producers, or the public to maximize its appeal and success.
- Get Practical: Apply what you learn with plenty of exercises and examples to guide you through the process of turning a spark of inspiration into a compelling story.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the tools to create at least one high-concept idea that you can start developing for your book or movie. And remember, the journey from concept to creation is as exciting as the destination!
