Episode 078
Released on: October 15, 2024
In this episode, four authors dive into Shawn Coyne's book, The Story Grid, a comprehensive editing tool that breaks down the structure of a story to reveal what works and what doesn't. We explore the key analytical tools Coyne introduces, including the Story Grid Spreadsheet and the Five Commandments of Storytelling, and discuss how the book reshapes our approach to editing. We also talk about why understanding genre expectations is essential and agree that this book is especially helpful for writers tackling revisions after completing their first draft.
