I have been writing novels, screenplays, plays, songs and poetry for her fifteen years. I also studied theatre at both the undergrad with a Bachelor's of Arts from Western Michigan University and grad... uate level with a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of California, San Diego. I am an expert in script analysis and story building. I like to dive deep into how to build a fictional world from the ground up, and creating characters whose motives are logical within the world that is built. My favorite genres are magical realism, science fiction, historical fiction, and crime dramas. I use my skills in writing and world building as an actor as well. I create each character as I would the worlds I create in fiction. I start with the simple traits(i.e. "what does my character carry in his pocket" "What is my character's favorite breakfast food" etc.) so that I can find a completely fulfilled character I can embody. I have acted in numerous theatre's across the country such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Seattle Repertory theatre. In these lessons I will follow the principles your instructor has laid out for you and help you reach the highest potential your work can achieve by looking for specifics and help flesh out the world and characters you are creating. I will also help you with script analysis so you can continue thinking deeper about your ideas as you continue on the path of world-building.read more

Hi! I'm MacGregor and I live in New Haven, CT continuing my journey in acting, writing and filmmaking. I tutor in my spare time and love teaching others how to reach the potential in the storytelling.... As you can guess my speciality is in storytelling and writing. That being said, I am also able to assist in essays and non-fiction work as well. Researching is a huge part of creative writing just as it is with factual essays and research papers. Grammar is also an important part in all forms of writing. I have been writing for 22 years and have completed two novels, fifteen short stories, and numerous screenplays and plays. I also write songs and poetry in my spare time. I studied theatre at Western Michigan University for my Bachelor's of Arts and acting at University of California, San Diego for my Master's of Fine Arts. Since then, I have acted around the country at theaters such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Seattle Repertory Theater. I am an expert in Shakespeare and other classic playwrights and script analysis. My goal as a tutor is to enhance your mastery of the written word and leave you feeling confident every time you sit at your computer to write. I understand there can be a lot of anxiety when it comes to writing and I hope to give you the tools to relieve that stress so you can start your writing process with ease. I would also like to impart a mastery in analysis so you can dive deeper into the ideas you wish to convey. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and I look forward to working with you!read more
