Hello and welcome to the Storygrid Masterwork Experiment. Before we get started today, I want to remind

listeners about Story Grid Live happening September 13th and 14th, 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Story Grid has grown into a movement followed by tens of thousands of writers from all over the

globe who are serious about their craft.

This live in-person weekend event will be full of information, inspiration, and expertise,
