Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. My name is Tim Graal. I'm the host and I am a struggling

writer trying to figure out how to tell a story that works. Joining me shortly is Sean Coyne. He's the

creator and founder of Story Grid and the author of the book Story Grid and he's helping us

figure out how all of this stuff works based on his 30 years of experience.

Along with us is Danielle Kiyoski, the chief academic officer of StoryGrid Universe, and Leslie Watts,

the editor-in-chief of Storygrid Publishing.

In this week's episode, for the first time, we're going to go through the short story

eyewitness and we're going to look at it beat by beat, line by line.

So in last week's episode, we introduced the idea of tropes and introduced the idea of beats

and gave you some structure around how we think about beats.

But in this episode, we're actually going through beat by beat,

identifying the beats, categorizing the beats, figuring out all of that stuff.

So we really go in depth.

If you're listening to the audio-only version of this podcast, you're going to get a lot out of it.

We're going to walk through everything.

We try to do everything in a way where you can follow along.

But on the video version that we have over at YouTube,

you can actually see us walk through the scene

and actually see the scene that we're working on.

So there's a screen share going on where you can actually see it.

And so if you want to follow along while watching, you can go to our YouTube channel,

just search Storygrid, you'll be able to find it, subscribe there.
