Brainstorming... it's what we do!

Story Consultation

Creative collaboration is a powerful tool to unlock your story’s potential. Beta readers and critique groups are excellent once you have a draft written, but what about those early stages of your story’s development? Having a strong conceptual foundation from the beginning can speed up your writing and help reduce the risk of extensive re-writes down the road.

We guarantee you’ll walk away with new ideas, new focus, and a new excitement for your story… or your consultation is FREE!

- Dave Robison - founder of Wonderthing Studios

Brainstorming helps breakdown preconceptions and create new possibilities, allowing you to objectively assess and interpret your story concept. It’s an informal problem-solving session where ideas – no matter how crazy or outlandish – are explored without judgement, inviting fresh perspectives and invigorating your creative expression. The goal? Make your story better!

We’ll meet with you one-on-one, discuss the merits and challenges of your idea, then explore new paths and structures, examining the idea from multiple perspectives. Character arcs, worldbuilding, plot progression… nothing’s off the table and everything is fuel for the creative engine.

Whatever story problems are keeping you from leaping on your keyboard and writing, we’ll help you solve them.  We guarantee you’ll walk away with new ideas, new focus, and a new excitement for your story… or your consultation is FREE!
