Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better

writer. I'm your host Tim Graal and I am a struggling writer trying to figure out how to tell a story

that works. Joining me shortly as Sean Coyne, he is the creator of Story Grid, the author of the

book Story Grid and an editor with over 25 years experience. In this episode, this is a follow-up to two pretty cool things.

First off, like I mentioned last week, we did cross that 2 million download mark, which is

just really cool.

And thank you again for being a part of our work here at StoryGrid.

Also, we did a training and a Storygrid editor certification

training last week in Nashville, and it was just a lot of fun. So we started out the episode

talking a little bit about last week and what that meant and what happened there. And then we

move into talking about a brand new Story grid kind of tool epiphany that

Sean had while we were here together last week.

So it's a really great episode.

It's the first time you're going to be hearing Sean talk about this.

So I think you'll get a lot out of it.

So let's jump in and get started.

So Sean, we are fresh off of spending a week in Nashville together, training 29 new story grid editors,

which was really cool.

I, you know, these things don't seem to coalesce in my mind until we're all sitting in the room and

I'm like oh my gosh we had 29 people getting training for the first time and 10 of the original

editors that came so we had 40 people in the room listening to you and I blab on for a week

it's true.
