Andrew Zurbrugg

Put my knowledge of archetypes to work for you or your team. I offer custom educational and consulting services at negotiable rates.

Presentations and Workshops

I will work with you to develop a custom presentation or workshop to meet your team’s needs. The topic of archetypes is incredibly broad and multifaceted. Short presentations will need to focus on narrowly defined concepts, questions, or problems. Longer workshops can explore complex archetypal dynamics across different dimensions.

I’m available to work with:

  • Film and animation studios
  • Television writing rooms
  • Video game developers
  • Creative writing programs
  • Film festivals
  • Writing conventions

Story Consulting

I’ll read your novel, script, outline, or treatment and provide structural feedback from an archetypal perspective.

I’ll help you:

  • Develop character motivations that are grounded in psychology
  • Tailor dialog to character archetype/psychology
  • Design stakes that give weight and urgency to your narrative
  • Build out character webs that are dynamic and balanced
  • Design obstacles that challenge your characters along archetypal axes
  • Shape character arcs that feel genuine and earned

This consultation should generally happen before a content edit and definitely before a copy edit. I am not an editor, and this service is not meant to be a substitute for any stage of professional editing.
