The Writer’s Forge: Where Serious Writers Level Up
I’m J. David Stem — Shrek 2, Jimmy Neutron, Disenchanted. $2.5B in box office.
I made every mistake writers still make today: chasing clever plots, forcing characters through The Hero’s Journey, building scripts that were technically perfect… but dead inside. And I wondered why reps kept passing.
Everything shifted when I focused on what audiences crave and what the industry actually buys: characters that feel primal and alive. Characters you can’t forget.
That’s when my career took off — and it’s what I’m here to teach you.
Inside you get:
🔥 Hot Seat Coaching — See how pros diagnose and fix story problems fast.
🎯 Working Writers Community — Supportive writers who show up and finish.
💬 Real Industry Conversations — Breakthrough writers and insiders on how the market really works.
If you want to level up, you need sharp feedback and a proven system. That’s what you’ll find inside The Forge.
