MUSE Salons
For Muse members and Lab participants -
Where artists remember what the hell they’re made of. Before algorithms, there were salon rooms where ideas caught fire and apathy was banned. The Muse Salon is that room, reborn.
A weekly gathering for writers, thinkers, and the creatively possessed. No critique. No performance. No begging for likes. Just real artists, live and unfiltered, talking about what art asks of us and what it gives back.
If you’re building, dreaming, or trying to remember how to care come sit with us. Let your guard down. Fill your well. Leave sharper, braver, more alive.
SUMMER MUSE LABS
The Franken Lab
Forget the rules. Make the story only you can tell.
One-on-One: Crack open your big, unruly idea. Stitch worlds and genres together. Write scenes that refuse to be ignored.
Group: Pitch wild. Test beats. Refine the weird until it feels inevitable.
Outcome: A living story engine, a spine that can’t be snapped, and the confidence to claim this-is-mine in any room.
The Muse IP Lab
Where your story takes its first real shape and proves it can catch fire.
One-on-One: Carve your raw idea into a tight testable draft, a book outline, a graphic novel treatment, a pilot, or whatever form gets traction fastest. Do it alongside working writers and producers who know what sells and what dies on the vine.
Group: Pitch it live, break it apart, rebuild it clear and fierce.
Outcome: A real piece of IP you can share, shop, and test with an audience. A practical plan for where it goes next. Your rights fully yours. No theory. No waiting. Just a story that can run.
Creative Nonfiction & Personal Myth Lab
Memory as gospel. Chaos turned canon.
One-on-One: Shape messy truths into an arc no one can dismiss.
Group: Listen deeper, witness harder, push each other past polite.
Outcome: Essays, memoir scaffolds, or one-person shows that dare to mean something.
Character Lab
Write characters actors fight to play.
One-on-One: Roles built to be canon. Dialogue built to be quoted. Scripts built to attract the actors who make it all iconic.
Group: Table-read scenes, stress-test emotional shifts, refine until your pages breathe.
Outcome: A script stacked with roles too good to pass up and the confidence to pitch them to exactly who you want.
Series Lab
Forget the formula. Build the show only you can sell.
One-on-One: Worldbuild, map arcs, write pages that pop.
Group: Pitch live, test hooks, refine characters until they feel alive.
Outcome: A series bible, a pitch deck, and the confidence to walk into any room and own the vision.
