"The hero's journey is Noetic recollection."
Guest Speaker / Lectures
From refugees in Africa, orphans in India, or even European doctors on sabbatical, we have taught them all. For those interested in the basics of writing or how story connects all science, theology, and philosophy, Monostory Academy has what you need to succeed. It doesn't matter if your venue is a church basement or university auditorium, we're ready to deliver insightful information that's so fun it should be illegal! But our goal isn't just to make you a better storyteller, we hope to empower you as well... even if that empowerment comes with a few dad jokes along the way.
PRICE varies on location, accommodations, and length of training.

"Jordan Dale is a master storyteller, his knowledge and wisdom on the craft of Story is inspiring and the perfect challenge to get every writer writing. Basically, everything he says is a one-liner you wish you could plaster on your wall to keep you going. Definitely worth looking into, and if you have the privilege to be mentored and trained by him, count yourself lucky. He's not only a phenomenal teacher but his approach to guide your writing comes from a wonderful father-type spirit that makes you feel encouraged and supported while giving you the tools to make your work stronger."

Script Reviews/Doctoring
This isn't your standard script coverage from an anonymous reader frustrated they can't break into the industry.
Service includes line-by-line advice and insight into structure and characters, as well as basic formatting for beginners. Ends with a review on story's strengths/weaknesses and how the client might improve their craft with added subtext or symbolism. Basically, it's what I wish I had when I was broke and just starting out.
Turnaround is less than a week.

"With Jordan's help you can finish any vision you have! I had a story that had been in my head for over 10 years and within 3 months of working with Jordan I had a completed first draft. He doesn't simply provide base level story notes but instead gives detailed and insightful character/plot points. Through years of coaching and training he has honed his innate and intuitive skill for story structure and it comes forward in his coaching. No matter what the story, whether it's a rom com, sci fi fantasy, or indie coming of age drama, Jordan possesses the capacity for character and story above all. I've found his advice and guidance invaluable on multiple projects regardless of genre."

Professional Editing
Never turn in pages that aren't ready!
Your script is a representation of you and you are only as good as your last project. This business is all about reputation and word of mouth. Don't blackball yourself before you even get started.
PRICE = $50
Coaching/Mentorship
COACHING
This service goes well beyond the doctoring of a script or story. For anyone not able to attend a lecture, this option is the next best thing. It takes information usually presented in public teaching and lasers its focus onto whatever the client requires. Experiencing writer's block? Think you're ready for a manager or competition? The coaching option might be just what you're looking for.
One-on-one attention requires an assessment of your goals and level of writing, which is subtracted from the overall price.
Clients can resubmit their story/script as many times as they like over the course of 4 weeks. Each draft receives feedback and ideas on how to improve.
Assessment = $50
4 Week Coaching = $500
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
This option is for serious writers who want to push themselves to complete a story within a deadline.
Service includes weekly connection with your mentor (in whatever manner best suits your needs/schedule) along with feedback on pages/drafts.
6 Week = $600
12 Week = $1,100
