Your blueprint for developing and adapting a story or concept across multiple mediums.

Are you a writer with big ideas and a passion for storytelling that won’t be confined to just one format? The Multi-Passionate Writer’s Life is designed to help you take a concept or story idea and successfully adapt it across multiple mediums—whether that’s essays, books, podcasts, newsletters, scripts, or beyond.

You’ll learn how to identify the core themes of your work, play to your strengths as a writer and preferred mediums, and strategically expand your reach. Instructor Courtney Kocak—writer, podcaster, and multi-hyphenate creator—will share real-world examples from her own career, along with hard-earned best practices for navigating different formats.

We’ll also dive into the business side: how to pitch your ideas, repurpose content effectively, and maximize your productivity without burnout. Whether you’re a journalist looking to break into podcasting, a memoirist dreaming of making a short film, or a newsletter writer aiming for a book deal, this course will give you the tools to evolve your ideas and build a sustainable, multi-platform writing career.
