Scenarios: How To Start Writing Your Own

"Demand for international air travel will never slow."

"City centres will never empty."

"Curfews will never be seen in this century."

No one knows the future, but you can experience versions of the future before it happens...by writing scenarios.

A scenario is a story about a possible future event or situation that takes an imaginative and narrative approach. Scenarios help us to imagine a future state that is different from the present. The thought experiment of creating a scenario will enable you to plan for various possible events — professionally and personally. 

In this compact guide, I have distilled how I approach scenario writing. Over the last 8 years, I've written and sold more than 100 scenarios using these techniques.

In this PDF guide you will find:
