Ankit Kothari - Storython Reviews 201

A true mentor! Fantastic guidance without any reluctance. Amazing commitment and so much he shared with us. He is so much hard working, passionate and inspiring. I am glad to be able to connect with him. Thank you 🙏🏻

Ankit Kothari makes Storython a safe place for the writers’ community. While he places his views and learning from his own journey in a gentle manner, it is very evident that this is a space for only those who are serious about the craft of writing. My aim is to take inputs for the novel I am writing, and this script writing course is perfectly helpful for a ‘show, don’t tell’ approach. Whether this is a first course for you or you have exposure to writing concepts, attending this marathon session will certainly sharpen your craftsmanship!

A systematic and organized approach of writing in a very easy to understand and practical way.

It was a wonderful learning experience. Ankit is so patient and explains everything with great clarity and focus. When there's so much of noisy advice online it's easy to get lost and overwhelmed but Ankit guided us with steps and introduced us to structure. Explanation was clear and easy to follow. Flow chart clarified every single detail. Also got to listen and interact with other writers over their loglines. It was a nice experience. Highly recommend it for writers at all stages

The meeting was very interactive and active throughout. the joining and interacting even though online felt seamless. Definitely have to mention Ankit Kothari's teaching is very well structured and planned. Also it clearly shows how well read and a good writer he is by the way he speaks. Thank you for making this and glad i found it and payed for it.

Amazing learning experience.

It was a great learning point. Ankit is an amazing teacher kept the class quite engaging with a lot of examples and activities. He ensured time and again that everyone one upto speed and ensured that no one was left behind. His technique and approach also showed how easy one can start writing scene by scene. Thank you so much Ankit

Ankit helped me write the story from scratch to make my first draft. I had learned many technical terms and frameworks as well. Also, motivated me to write and clear my mind for achieving my dreams and aspirations about writing and my life

I’ve been a part of Storython since October 2023. According to me the most unique aspect of this course and the Storython community is -- Mindset Mastery – this is the foundation of Storython. The Personal Codex that we created for ourselves with our mentor Ankit Sir’s guidance gives us a sense of purpose and constantly offers us a direction as to where we should be headed to. It is the best guide to begin our journey with. It gives us the confidence that no matter how daunting the journey looks like, we can still achieve our goals if we have the right mindset and an actionable plan towards it.

Now talking about the writing part -- journaling my thoughts and translating my own personal experiences into interesting story ideas has been an amazing experience, along with a bouquet of other techniques that help me write and improve my script. Each tool and technique that we’ve learnt in Storython is an invaluable lesson in the craft of screenwriting.

Finally, being a part of the Storython community fills me with hope, happiness and fulfillment. It is the constant motivation and guidance from Ankit Sir, and interaction & feedback from our fellow members that I admire a lot and keep looking forward to. Our Inner Circle sessions have been so empowering, not just towards screenwriting, but also towards our overall mindset development. This is the real joy of being in a community like Storython!

I joined Storython as a Silver member and found it extremely rewarding. Understanding the entire system of writing in the film, Television Industry and OTT was a big gain for me. This facilitates a novice's entry into the industry. We were also instructed about how not to get exploited as freshers in the industry. The content was too extensive covering all the aspects of script writing. We were also provided opportunities to apply whatever we learnt through writing our own scripts and narrating among the fellow writers to get constructive feedback. Under the guidance of Ankit Sir, I also became a member of SWA and registered synopses of 3 stories. I recommend joining Storython to anyone who aspires to become a Script writer.

If you want to waste your time figuring everything out alone, you're welcome to stay stuck in the learning loop.
But if you’re serious, find a good mentor.

I’ve found mine — and no, not in the sky — just look above this comment (unless you're having vision issues 😄).

Because trust me, you won’t learn what ACR is… or what marshland treatment means… or any of the real stuff that matters — just by randomly scrolling through YouTube.

Yes, YouTube is a vast ocean.
But unless you know how to swim and have a compass, you'll either get lost or drown in it.

It’s your choice.

Right above, there’s someone who can guide you, or at least act as your compass.

🔁 Trust the process.
There’s no perfect timing.
No perfect script.
No perfect film.

Just finish your milestones — and if you love storytelling, enjoy the ride.
Set deadlines if you can, but don’t forget to have fun while writing. (Wish you lots of conflict and solutions.....in story/screenplay 💥😎😊)

This course exceeds expectations on nearly every front. The coaching is exceptional — thoughtful, structured, and impressively detailed. What sets it apart is not just the sheer number of storytelling techniques taught, but how deeply each one is explained, along with the ongoing support to resolve doubts and questions.

What truly makes the program unique is that it doesn’t stop at craft — there’s significant focus on mindset as well. Topics like vision, discipline, and time management are woven into the learning experience, which helps you not only become a better writer but also a more focused and consistent one.

The community is still growing but already includes a healthy mix of beginners, intermediate, and advanced writers and filmmakers. The environment is incredibly supportive and motivating, with a standout culture that encourages growth without ego.

As a beginner, I couldn’t have asked for a better roadmap. The step-by-step approach is clear and actionable, and for anyone willing to put in the work, the path to meaningful progress is right there. It’s rare to find a course that genuinely delivers on everything it promises — this one does.

When desperately looking for scriptwriting books or online courses, I stumbled upon STORYTHON. I attended a free ‘Super Writer Masterclass’ and was immediately hooked.
I realised the mentor, Ankit Kothari, is not only knowledgable but also passionate about writing and more importantly equally passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience. Having won a National award for his short film ‘Paanchika’, he always gives reliable and genuine inputs.
Silver membership is a foundation course where the basic techniques are introduced in a systematic manner with the help of mind-maps.The course is structured in such a way that takes you step by step right from journalising your lived experiences or inspirations from the outside world and slowly developing them into themes. Themes are further developed into loglines, identifying the protagonist, antagonist, secondary characters and wants & needs of the characters.
This seemingly daunting process is made easy with the help of worksheets which are provided at the end of each session. These worksheets have proven immensely useful for me while writing my scripts or even analysing films/ scripts created by others.
One thing that makes this course shine as compared to other courses is the emphasis on developing the correct mindset. Writing techniques can be found anywhere, that too for free, but without the right mindset, gathering information just becomes an intellectual activity without any actionable roadmap and no tangible outcome.
Ankit shared techniques like SAVERS, Affirmations, Personal codex etc which helps us train our mind to commit and be focused on this journey as a script writer. He impels us to narrate our stories no matter at what stage, within the writers’ community which gives us great confidence to face potential directors/ producers or investors. Genuine feedback from fellow writers helps us to improve our craft on daily basis and be accountable.
For me personally, a mixture of affirmations, intentional effort and disciplined writing has gotten me opportunities to pitch my concepts to production houses, which otherwise would have been lying in my drawer eating dust for don’t know how many years!
I’m really grateful to Ankit for designing this wonderful course.

More Power To You, entire STORYTHON team.
