Genre Worldbuilding & Series Engine Development

Build worlds that can carry a series — not just an idea

If you’re developing a horror, sci-fi, or genre project and want to know whether it can actually sustain episodes, seasons, or multiple mediums, this 1:1 session is for you.

Dan works with writers on the foundations that make genre stories viable at a professional level: world rules, mythology, character engines, and long-arc storytelling. Drawing from real writers’ room experience on shows like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Sweet Tooth, and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, he helps you pressure-test your idea the way studios and showrunners do.

This is room-ready story development.
