Daniel Osei

Story Structure Consultant

Daniel Osei has spent about ten years helping novelists and screenwriters find the shape of their stories before they start drafting. He studied comparative literature at Edinburgh, then trained in narrative design for games. His method borrows from film editing, comic panelling, and architectural planning - he wants writers to see their plots spatially, not just as a list of scenes. He has coached writers through NaNoWriMo and run workshops at literary festivals in London and Lagos. He keeps coming back to one idea: laying a story out visually changes how you think about pacing and cause-and-effect.
