If you haven’t taken an online course in a while, BBC Maestro has one that might hit you just right – Alan Moore is teaching a storytelling course for the online service.
Delve into Moore’s personal writing journey and learn how, after 40 years, he continues to inspire his own imagination. Alan Moore is one of the world’s greatest living writers and has received 8 Eisner Awards, 6 Harvey Awards, and 3 National Comics Awards.
While a blank page can be daunting for the aspiring and established alike, Moore arms viewers with the four weapons needed to become a better writer. The multifaceted skill of storytelling is examined through his creative lens and presented through six distinct parts: Origins, Language, Story, Cast and Setting, A Variety of Forms, and Progressive Writing. Fans of Moore’s prolific backlist will delight in his lessons dedicated to Comic Cuts, Character, and Inventive Language. For those seeking to broaden their skillset to include cross-genre techniques and a deeper understanding of character creation, Moore’s lessons also offer expert advice on texture, biographical research, and unreliable narrators.
With over six hours of “lectures” in this series, those who participate get roughly twice as much information compared to other services. And the price is right, too, coming in at only $90 for the course.
Alan Moore’s Storytelling with BBC Maestro kicks off on March 24, 2022.
