USE STORYTELLING TOOLS

TO BUILD A LIFE YOU LOVE

You want to feel in charge of your story.

But something is getting in the way. It's possible that you feel out of control. You definitely don't feel in control. ​

Good news! I can help. 

Apply the principles of storytelling to your daily life and take control of your journey.

You can feel like the writer of your own story, rather than a supporting character.

Hi, I'm Ben.

Ben Axelrad

When I was younger, my moods ran my life. Mania would spark a flood of ideas, only for depression to tear them down. For years, I thought I was broken.

Everything changed when I realized that my moods weren’t the enemy. They were different parts of me, with their own needs and their own strengths. I gave each part a job in the creative process and started seeing results pretty quickly. That’s how the 3 Plots Method was born.​

Since then, I’ve sold multiple scripts, worked as a story consultant, and taught thousands of students to write their own scripts through my TV-writing courses.​

Along the way, I realized creatives don’t just need craft — they need a support system — and that that my experiences have made me uniquely suited to provide that.

So I started the F.A.C.T.S. program (Feedback, Accountability, Coaching, Training, and Structure), guiding artists to personal and professional successes, and celebrating their victories.​ After 20 years of refinement, I’m sharing the system that started it all: the 3 Plots Method.

It changed my story — and it can change yours, too.
