About Chevahn
For Chevahn Brown, every great story begins - and survives - on the strength of its Characters.
Plots twist, worlds burn, timelines fracture, but it’s the people at the center - their contradictions, choices, and truths - that keep audiences leaning in.
That belief drives every part of her work. It shapes The Anatomy of a Character, her flagship course where writers learn to construct layered, unforgettable characters whose motivations create story, not the other way around.
This creative passion drove Chevahn to establish the The Write Story Studio, LLC, in 2021 - a creative hub where she activates stories through consultations, development work, and collaborative projects. As The Story Activator, she uncovers the heartbeat beneath the plot, finding the truths in character and narrative that make stories resonate, survive, and stay unforgettable. Whether she’s troubleshooting scripts for PocketFM, leading a workshop, or working one-on-one with a writer, her focus is always the same: when you find the human heartbeat, the story comes alive.
It’s also the force behind her own creative work. Her sharp, witty drama-thriller TV pilot, Kane, is a masterclass in character-driven tension - earning a Quarterfinalist spot in the Final Draft Big Break International Contest. Her first novel, Inside Out, self-published to a dedicated readership, follows a bullied teenager who develops a genetic mutation granting him superpowers, forcing him to decide: will he rise as a hero, or fall to his own darker impulses? For Chevahn, these aren’t just plots - they’re explorations of human choice under extraordinary pressure.
This character-first philosophy powers every class she teaches, from Emerson College and Boston University to The Metro-West Writers’ Guild and The Muse Writers’ Center, as well as summer creative writing camps, intensive workshops, private consultations, and even innovative creative journaling sessions.
From there, her work expands into Narrative 911, a creative emergency room for stories that have lost their way. Called in when audience viewership drops, she identifies the cracks in the character arcs, stitches in deeper motivations, and revives the story so it can breathe - and keep viewers hooked.
Her Penguin Random House release in September 2025 is the first in a series of creative IP that will blend her years of teaching, consulting, and writing into tools and frameworks for storytellers worldwide. Alongside that, she’s developing a collection of dystopian short stories about the uneasy handshake between artificial intelligence and humanity - each one anchored, as always, by characters worth following to the very end.
Because for Chevahn, story is never about what happens.
It’s about who it happens to and why we can’t look away.

Where Story Meets Mastery
You’ve got a story inside you. Maybe it’s been tugging at you for years, maybe it arrived in a lightning flash and won’t let you sleep. Either way—you can feel it.
But then the doubts creep in. Maybe you’ve started and stopped a dozen drafts. Maybe you’ve outlined until the magic drained away. Maybe your days are packed with work, family, and endless to-dos, leaving you staring at a blinking cursor with nothing left to give.
The truth is, most writers and creators don’t need more willpower or more discipline. What you need is activation—the spark that reconnects you with the heartbeat of your story.
That’s where I come in. I’m Chevahn Brown, Author, Professor, and Story Activator. Through The Write Story Studio, I guide authors, screenwriters, showrunners, and visionary creators back to the core of their work: the character, the psychology, the truth that makes an audience lean in.
When we work together, I don’t just give you notes. I help you unlock what you already know but can’t quite see. I translate instinct into structure, chaos into clarity, and spark into story.
Whether you’re building a feature script, shaping a serialized audio drama, developing a novel, or elevating branded content—together we’ll sharpen your structure, amplify your character psychology, and align your vision with both emotional resonance and commercial power.
This is not just coaching.
This is creative direction.
Intuitive. Cinematic. Transformational.
Because stories don’t just exist.
They’re activated.
“ …deep inside the soul lies an eternity of stories untold… ”
