How it works:

Whether through words, images or both, this package is all about creating stories – and challenging the brain.

It requires brainstorming, imaginative problem-solving, as well as flexible, clever and critical thinking. And it will nudge you to take storytelling risks.

In this package, there are 115 themes or ideas that will inspire your stories. These are universal themes and ideas that are commonly found in books, in films and across the overall human experience – you’ll recognize them instantly.

You take these thematic seeds and let a story spring up and take shape around them. Some will be easier than others!

(Note: the PDF you receive will have the white cover, which is better for printing)

Sample pages:
