Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. So it's been a while for me, but I'm excited to be back

and I'm really excited that you all enjoyed the masterwork experiment with Anne Holly over the

summer so much. We got a lot of great feedback on it and it's got me and Sean planning out some

more experiments and ideas that we're going to be doing with the podcast in the

future. But for now, you're stuck with me. And as always, this is a show dedicated to helping

you become a better writer. I am your host, Tim Graal, once again, and I'm a struggling writer

trying to figure out how to tell a story that works. Joining me shortly is Sean Coyne.

He is the creator of StoryGrid, the author of the book StoryGrid, and an editor with over 25

years experience.

In this episode, we start diving deep into the nonfiction genre and how StoryGrid applies

to it.

Also, at the end of this episode, I have an exciting announcement,

so make sure you stay tuned for that as well. But for now, let's jump in with Sean.

So, Sean, it's good to be back after a few months. It was a nice break, but I thought that thing

you did with the masterwork thing with Anne was really, really cool. Yeah, that, I really liked doing that.

And Anne was just superior in her work ethics.

So, yeah, I definitely want to do something like that again.

Superior?

Does that mean better than me?

Well, I don't want to compare and contrast.

Yeah.

Yeah, so with the seminar coming up, we get a lot of questions around how story grid or if story grid works for nonfiction.
