Thanks to video games and the anime boom of the 90s, East Asian and particularly Japanese storytelling has increasingly become a style that Western audiences enjoy. Where Western entertainment has relied on the traditional three-act structure, Japanese media favors a four-act structure. Beyond the basic mathematical difference of three versus four, how do these structures differ? And how do those differences affect the narrative? Uncover the secrets of crafting stories that resonate universally while celebrating a rich diversity of narrative traditions in this one-hour-long explorative workshop.

Katie Lewis is a short story author and blogger. They have a special interest in experimental fiction and East Asian literature and media, which carries over into their writing style. Katie's most recent works are the short stories "Synth," "The Peony House," and "The Orange Tree" published in the Writing Heights Writer's Association anthologies Rise, Chiaroscuro, and Exception/All respectively. Katie is nonbinary, uses they/them pronouns, and lives in Fort Collins with their partner and dog.
