โค๏ธ Hi, I'm Char! โค๏ธ
I have a degree in Filmmaking & Screenwriting, and an MA in Creative Writing, living up in the cloudy country of ๐Scotland๐, where I moved 8 years ago from my home country - Croatia.
I started The Plottery in 2021, sharing writing tips & tricks, and slowly accumulated a strong following of aspiring writers. As people came to me asking for help with their writing struggles, I decided to listen!
Now I coach aspiring writers and teach them how to finish their novel without the struggles they are used to experiencing. I've worked with over 20 personal clients and 200+ students in my Novel Plotting Academy.
Because of my background in film studies, my novel planning methods have roots in writing for screen! I believe screenwriting holds the best secrets to no fluff storytelling, strong plots, vivid characters and natural “show not tell” methods - and it's the reason I've decided to create this program!
Hear from some of the amazing people I've worked with.
I started working with Femke just under 3 months ago, on an incredible historical fiction novel. We started with a very vague idea - she wanted to write about something she was researching in the archive where she worked. Out of that simple idea, her story with two narrators at two separate times in history - with one very similar goal - was born.
Eve came to me with a story of 500,000 words that came out of her in the span of just 2 months... I'd never seen anything like it, and she'd made me laugh so much during our discovery call, I just had to take on the challenge. Now - we've got one comprehensive plot that she boiled down to the core - which shows a beautiful story of self-healing.
