CRAFT YOUR STORY

FROM STORY IDEA TO DISTRIBUTION

For the storytellers who need help getting unstuck so they can distribute their project to the world.

What if the key to getting your story idea to distribution is having simple guidance that finally helps you take the initiative?

I don’t have to tell you that story projects can be overwhelming and take a long time to complete.  You have a great idea for a book, a documentary, or maybe a course.  But actually taking the initiative to get that project released is a huge process!

After finishing this course and taking the action steps included, you’ll have a finished project that is ready to go!

You have a great idea for a movie, or you want to write a book. 

Maybe you’ve even started shooting, or your manuscript draft is saved on your computer. You have the vision— you can see it on the big screen or the bookstore shelf.  But you don’t know how to actually get there.

You’re tired of googling for answers and clicking a million links that only halfway answer your questions.  Calling people that have completed projects, asking how they did it.  (And sometimes finding that they want to gatekeep instead of help.) Taking endless workshops that may or may not directly apply to your project.  Realizing you did things out of order and some of your material may not be usable.

You want clear direction— step-by-step actions to make sure nothing is missed, and your project will land.  

You want to spend time working on your project, not trying to figure out how to work on your project.  

You want to get your project from an idea in your head or a file on your computer out in front of your ideal audience.

You want to stop talking about what you’re working on and actually share the link with people…

All while having the peace of mind that you aren’t missing important steps along the way!

So what happens when you actually have a clear plan of action for your story project? 

Thoughts no longer ping-pong through your brain. You’re not just yapping about doing it with others.  You’re not staring across the Grand Canyon with no idea of how to get to the other side.  You’re not feeling guilty for not opening the project file for months, maybe even years. You’re no longer stuck in pre-production indefinitely until you get so discouraged, you just give up.  

You’re actually taking the initiative to fast-track it to completion.  You’re turning your vision into reality.  You’re sharing a gift with the world, and you’re finally able to hold your book in your hands, or watch your film on the screen. 

Maybe you’re thinking:

Can’t I do this on my own by googling all the info?”

Yes, you can.  That’s what I did!  But projects already take so much time, and you don’t have time to waste.  Trial and error can drain your time and your money.  You’ll spend a lot of time clicking on links and reading articles all over the internet, instead of having all the information in one place at your fingertips.  

“Someone else will figure it out for me.”

Yes, they will, if you have a studio or publisher.  Most starting filmmakers and authors don’t have the backing of a company’s resources and advisors. If you’re self-distributing, YOU are the one that will have to figure out every aspect of it along the way.  But you don’t have to do it alone.  Let me save you time!

“I don’t have a story to tell.”

Yes, you do!  Everyone has a unique story to tell, a problem to solve that can help others.  We will find your story and your target audience, if you don’t already have that in place. 

“How is this different from any other course?”

I share everything I learned through doing, and streamline the process for you. If you go through the course, do the workbook prompts answering the questions in depth, and follow the simple step-by-steps, you will actually have a finished project that you can distribute!

Testimonials:

“Storytell Initiative Course is great! You truly share every step, and whoever follows it will be able to come out with a finished project.  I think so much is just starting or having the confidence that you know the next step. You can tell how much of yourself that you put into it and you truly want people to succeed.” -Katherine

“This course is not a surface level “funnel” just designed to get people to keep buying more. I loved that it’s not like that at all. I could go step by step, follow your advice, put in the effort, and succeed! It’s actually designed with intent and love, and the desire for people to succeed.” -Lauren

“What I appreciated a lot is how you wove story into your course on storytelling.  I loved the personal examples for context of how you navigated situations or said no to circumstances.  There’s so much relatability in that and it kept me engaged. You gave a lot of great actionable things for people to do. I can tell how much work and love and devotion you poured into this.  Every module complements the others so well.  I got so much value from this course!” - Ewelina

Why me?

I’ve made all the mistakes so you don’t have to. I’ve always been a storyteller, but my giftings came alive after my transformative experience of being on a sailboat in the middle of the Pacific during the outbreak of COVID.  I had an incredible story to tell, which I did through creating my documentary Quarantine at Sea and my memoir Worst Tits Ever.  I had to start from the drawing board, figuring out how to bring both story projects from idea to distribution in two different industries, film and publishing.  I’m passionate about fast-tracking the process for others to find their story, speak their truth, and connect to their audience in order to impact the world.  There’s no gatekeeping here.  You’ll get full transparency from me, who has done it all before and can share every tip, resource, and short-cut I know with you!
