✍️ 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.
