Summary

What are story grid beats?

We think about the story creation process (writing) as one big “problem”.  

You simply want to travel from where you are right now (without a story that works) to a place where your story takes on a life of its own. It works.

We submit to you that the practical way to unpack that very big problem is by breaking it into smaller, more easily solvable units.  

Just as performers break down acting challenges into moment-to-moment micro-actions they call beats, so do Story Grid Beat audiobooks break your story problems into specific high-resolution mini-puzzles. 

They’re like global positioning system reports for when you find yourself lost on your author’s journey. And once they clearly define the problem at hand, they offer procedural advice about how best to reframe your approach and solve it in your own unique way. 

After all, you can’t begin to solve a problem until you clearly know what it is. 

You are not the problem. The problems are the problem.

Waste of Money

I thought this was more great Story Grid storytelling and editing advice, but it turned out to be a 1.5hr advert for more Story Grid products, such as their online courses or a new Story Grid publishing model. Why they're charging folks to listen to such a weird extended advert is anyone's guess. Sure, they're keen to monetize everything, but this particular product is a bit of a con.

Utterly useless

I brought this anticipating a how-to book instead it is nothing but a metaphorical author journey complete with dojo's and mountain paths without a single helpful insight in view. I quit 10 chapters in. This is not worth the time or money. I will be returning it.
