“We’ve become lopsided living only in our heads. Writing, in order to serve the soul,must integrate outer craft with the inner world of intuition and feeling.”  – Catherine Ann Jones, NY TIMES

The Way of Story offers an integrative approach to writing narrative, combining solid craft with experiential inner discovery. Craft alone is not enough. No other writing workshop offers the solid craft to guarantee a good story along with the intangible inner dimensions of writing.

For writers of all levels & all narrative forms including play s, screenplays, stories, novels, non-fiction including memoir                       

        “At last, a working, professional writer who teaches writing!” – Joe S., San Francisco 

“Your structure gave my story wings. I’ve never been so clear on what I want to write.”
        – Linda L, Ann Arbor, MI

         “A spiritual experience as well as practical.”   – Gard J., Nevada

Catherine Ann Jones’s focus, clarity, and gentle but spot-on reactions help identify the weak or lazy spots in your writing. Thank God! She is the elevator of purpose.

A safe place in which to discover oneself as a writer. Great exercises which open up a deeper process while learning the essential steps of story structure.
