I'm updating the About page here and need YOUR input

As part of building this community, I'm updating the About page. Just curious which of these two vibes with the most people and would make you feel like, "Hell yeah, I need to sign up for that!"

I was debating and debating, then I thought... I know a whole group of people with opinions! Let's hear it!

Which would you prefer if you were landing on the About Page for the first time, and why?

VERSION A:

✍️ The Writer’s Forge

Stop forcing structure. Learn to create unforgettable characters that get noticed by agents and managers who can take your career to the next level.

Most writers stay stuck because they’ve been taught structure-first.

The beats look right… but the script feels dead.

It’s missing a beating heart — characters that feel real, alive, primal as hell, and hit the reader on a gut level.

The kind that make an industry reader flip back to the title page and think: “Who tf wrote this?”

I’m J. David Stem (Shrek 2, Jimmy Neutron, Rugrats, Disenchanted). Studios hired me for 25 years to rebuild scripts from the inside out. Now I help writers do the same inside The Writer’s Forge.
