Words that Win: Lexicon of Story

​Most creatives know a good story, narrative, or brand line when they feel one. But few can explain why it works.

​Join us on Thursday, March 19, for a 60-minute masterclass with namer, writer, and strategist, Stevie Belchak, who will give you the terms, the tools, and the origin stories behind powerful storytelling devices. Informative and practical, this session will give you the language you need to walk into any room and elevate, sell, and defend your words.

From oft-used, little-named storytelling arcs to devices that give sentences their punch, this session explores the full range of tools and techniques that underpin narrative structure.

​​What to expect:

• ​Names and etymologies for the devices you've been using all along. 

• ​Fun film, novel, oral history, and etymological references for your writerly toolbox. 

​Tickets are donation-based and support The Subtext’s programming.

​A note from The Subtext: we want to create opportunities for our community to embrace their curiosity, break away from industry echo chambers, and immerse themselves in new perspectives. That’s where our masterclasses come in. We hope you will join and support our amazing contributors and experts!
