How Structure, Pacing, and Form Shape Your Writing

Join Jule Selbo, award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and novelist, for a practical, eye-opening webinar that explores how storytelling shifts across screenwriting, playwriting, and narrative fiction — and how writers can use tools from each form to strengthen their work.

This session demystifies structure and helps writers understand what each format demands, allows, and teaches us about story.

In this webinar, you’ll explore:

  • The core differences and similarities between screenwriting, playwriting, and narrative fiction
  • How visual storytelling and pacing drive film and television scripts
  • Why dialogue and stage action are central to effective playwriting
  • How narrative fiction approaches interiority, description, and momentum
  • The classic Hollywood story structure — and why it works
  • How to begin shaping a play for theatrical presentation
  • Practical ways novelists and memoir writers can borrow tools from stage and screen

Who this webinar is for:

  • Novelists and short-story writers curious about stage or screen
  • Screenwriters and playwrights moving into fiction
  • Memoir writers seeking clearer structure and pacing
  • Writers who want usable frameworks, not vague advice

Attendees will leave with clear storytelling guidelines, simple structural models, and practical tools they can apply immediately — no matter the form they write in.

She will share the basic (and well-loved) structure of Hollywood films, as well as jumpstart your thinking into creating a play suited for a theatrical presentation.
