The Storytelling System
The core to understanding everything about being a multi-medium storyteller all begins with putting your story through the Storytelling System. In this 50 page ebook you'll take a story idea you have and try to imagine it as a book, a movie, a play and a video game. Loaded not only with questions to guide you the process, but an entire chapter explaining what each medium does for your story so even total newbies won't feel intimidated!
The Storytelling Syllabus
The Storytelling Syllabus is a simple workbook that aims to help storytellers become more conscious and intentional about consuming other stories besides their own. It's often easy to get so caught up in our own stories we are working on that we tend to forget to read, watch, and play out other stories to help us grow as writers. Use this syllabus to create a weekly schedule and keep track of all the books, movies, TV shows, plays and video games you want to finish!
Unlock Inspiration Workbook
This inspiration workbook, part of the #StorytellingShift series walks you through the process of seeking out a new medium and pulling inspiration from it to apply to future stories. It is the perfect step to take if you are ready to experience new storytelling mediums but aren't yet ready to branch out and write them, or if you feel your work has grown dull and needs a boost.
Daily Tools Worksheet
This daily tools worksheet, part of the #StorytellingShift series, can be used to remind you to always utilize one of the tools at your disposal. Maybe that means playing a game on Steam or assessing your film watching history on Letterboxd. But either way, it is a daily reminder for you to engage with tools that inspire your storytelling life, helping you move from writer to storyteller. (P.S. If you can't see the checkboxes in the PDF, download it and they should appear!)
Assess Your Strength's Workbook
This workbook on assessing your story's strengths is part of the #StorytellingShift series. It works best with the actual blog post on hand, but overall serves the purpose of teaching fellow writers to start evaluating their story's for a singular strength to further develop instead of relying on all of them. This is a foundation tool for all Swiss Army Storytellers and therefore a great starting point for thinking like a storyteller!
Enhance Your Story's With New Medium's Workbook
The final part of the series, #StorytellingShift, this workbook helps you put everything we've learned into practice. Use the blog post to learn about how to use new mediums to inspire your current work-in-progress, then use this workbook to put everything into action and keep track of all your findings. Plus, there's a cheatsheet/checklist at the beginning to remind you of all the new ways you can use your storytelling medium!
