It’s not enough to plop a story into your emails, blogs, or presentations and expect a connection.

But by learning the fundamentals of writing stronger stories, you can engage and entrance your audience from the first word and across all your writing.

Is this you?

“Stories are hard. I never know what to write or what will work. I put off writing them and then end up slapping something together that doesn’t really work.”

Stop. It doesn’t have to be like that.

 

  • Don’t face the blank screen alone
  • Stop procrastinating
  • Stop worrying you can’t write a good story
  • Banish blank page paralysis
  • Stop struggling with story mechanics
  • Stop using someone else’s templates or paint-by-number solutions that don’t sound like you or match your experience

Instead, learn how it works and:

  • Gain confidence in crafting and using stories that connect and make your reader feel something
  • Attain and maintain consistency in your long-form story, project, or brand messaging by using story strategy
  • Understand how and why stories work and how to apply those lessons to your writing, copy and content
  • Create deeper connections with your audience

Telling stories isn’t easy. But it isn’t magic either. It’s method.

Too many experts tell you to write stories, but few tell you how to do that effectively or why it matters. 

The Fable Cohort: Story Fundamentals dives into all of that and more.

Learn:

    • Why story is important (and it is vitally important for connection and engagement)
    • How it works (we’re going to dip into some neuroscience and psychology here, but it’s fascinating stuff…promise)
    • And how to write stories that work…for you…for your audience…and for your brand by tapping into narrative structures and fundamentals

 

 

Fable Cohort: Story Foundations may be for you if you want to:

  • Write engaging stories that pull in readers and audiences
  • Tap into the power of story in your business
  • Engage more fully with your audience
  • Understand how and why stories work
  • Grab your audience from word one
  • Know what to write and how to do it effectively
  • Write now (not talk about it or wish it into existence)
  • Learn practical advice without the nonsense
  • Use story in your content and copy

Fable Cohort: Story Foundations may NOT be for you if you:

  • You want a prescriptive fill-in-the-blank template to follow instead of understanding how and why stories work (and when to use each type of story)
  • You want someone else to write it for you
  • You write technical copy or content
  • You don’t want to write or use story in your work

HOW IT WORKS

Fable Cohort: Story Foundations wraps writing, story, and science together to create a hands-on working group. I keep these cohorts small so everyone gets attention and direct help. The cohort includes:

  • Limited to 15 people for maximum attention
  • 8 weekly assignments with direct feedback from me
  • Weekly live hot-seat critique sessions (recorded replays available)
  • 2 live Ask Me Anything Q&A sessions
  • Lifetime access to the materials
  • Acccess to me via email or Voxer throughout the course (M-F only)
  • A student-only group for conversation and community during the cohort
