Welcome to the Story Grid Masterwork Experiment!
In this ten-episode summer series, Shawn Coyne and author Anne Hawley are breaking a great masterwork down to the beat level to find out whether an experienced writer can create a new and original story from exactly the same building blocks.
Episode 1 of the Masterwork Experiment introduces the masterwork and lays out the experimental protocol. Will Anne write something new and fresh? Or will she wind up with a hackneyed copy of a beloved novella? Put on your lab coat and goggles, and join us in the story lab to find out.
If you are a subscriber of The Story Grid Podcast, this is the same as episode 167.
