Customer Reviews
Loving it
I've been listening to this podcast for about a week now and I'm loving it. It's great getting a mix of the newcomer's perspective from Tim and the old hand's perspective from Shawn. They discuss story structure in great depth and yet there's an easy banter between the two hosts that means it's never boring. I know it's going to help my writing and you can't ask for much more than that.
One of the best
As a newbie writer who is in the process of writing my first series of novels, it is invaluable to listen to Tim sometimes struggling and often making progress as he takes on advice and guidance from Shawn. Shawn's experience is great and his system of story structure is one of the most inspirational things I've read, I would highly recommend this podacst to new writers, it's one of the best I've listened to- and I listen to a lot. I always look forward to new episodes. Thank you guys
Loved the book and loving the podcast
The Story Grid is the most useful book on story structure I’ve read and I enjoy reading Shawn’s blog as well. I listen to a lot of writing podcasts so I was thrilled when I found out Shawn and Tim were doing a podcast about the Story Grid. Shawn is as insightful and dry as always and I also enjoy following along with Tim’s journey which is similar to my own. Keep up the good work guys!
