Good story telling starts with good structure… and good structure starts with Chapter Control. This software is like structure on steroids. With Chapter Control structure is just done for you. (Very Cool.)

I was able to re-craft the entire outline and get it to my Producers for approval.
In fact, it was inspiring. I had been struggling with the 3rd act and putting off delivery, but with the help of Plot Control it was like I plowed through a creative wall.

I have never come across a system so intuitive to the writer’s needs....
In the 15 years I’ve been writing for TV and film, I have never come across a system so intuitive to the writer’s needs. This is why movies used to be better than they are now.
Jeremy Miller, Writer/Producer: Entourage, Boston Public, We Are Marshall, Ghost of Girlfriends Past
At a glance, I can view everything on one page pictorially...
The way it’s organized, it forces you to fill in the information that makes your story more complete, while at the same time it simplifies the process, so you can keep your mind focused on storytelling.
Cindy Lichtman: Ally McBeal, The Practice
Now I have all my ideas in one place, I can print an outline anytime...
My family is sick of hearing me say how much I love this software, but it’s exciting to use something that forces me to focus on the story, plot, characters, subplots, theme. You’ve made a great product. I love you guys.
Bettie Styurak, Creative Writer Software Client
I recently bought a copy of your software, and I have to say it’s awesome...
I finally have a concrete system for outlining. Up until now my spiral notebook of random ideas was my prewriting process, but I can now focus on the use of proper story structure.
Ryan Binse, Creative Writer Software Client
This program is definitely worth its weight in gold...
Initially I thought, yeah, just another software I’ll buy and won’t use… but this program is definitely worth its weight in gold. Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable program.

“Describing how a finished story works is not the same as providing guidance for how to make a working story. Seeing how this is done by taking the bits and pieces that are not yet a story and slowing turning those bits and pieces into a story is what makes your course worthwhile."

“Absolutely LOVED yesterday’s session, especially, especially, especially at the 1 hour mark. The only ‘learning’ I’ve done where I never felt frustrated and like I wasted my time was your courses. So thank you. I’m very excited to see where this course will take me now. "
Patti Dansereau
“Just finished listening to Live Session #16. I loved it. I loved all of it. Your discussion of the Cause to a Cause for both the A & B-stories is terrific. But what I really loved was what you had to say about the Proximate Cause Character and the Underlying Cause Character. Thanks again for your remarkable seminar. ”
Blake Thomas

“The way you think about story is better than anyone else out there. And I think the new material and how you think about the interplay between A and B stories and Theme is off the charts helpful. I’m finding this way of thinking of story mind-opening. So much easier to break story this way!"
Zeke Farrow

“Hey Mitch! OMG, absolutely fabulous material. I've read almost all the books and done many courses and this stuff is gold! (I'm doing a lot of unlearning at the moment.) That idea of the start of the story being the blowing up of the (bleep) is genius. Thanks for doing what you do."
Kathy Keats
