The Heart of the Story

Using Developmental Coaching to Find & Finesse Your Story 

In the forest/trees metaphor, we writers sometimes focus on the leaves.
Having a fresh pair of eyes can help us to the bigger picture of our story as a whole.

In this presentation we'll cover:

• What is "developmental" story coaching (from pros and peers) and what isn't it?
• When and how to use story coaching to your best advantage
• The Goldilocks of story editing: Not too little, not too much...just right
• How to use story coaching to find YOUR voice, not to have someone else write rewrite your story 

About Betsy

For Betsy Graziani Fasbinder, storytelling in all of its forms is nearly a religion.
As a therapist for more than 30 years, as a genre-jumping author, as a speaking coach,
and in her role as a writing coach, she strives to tell and to help others tell their lived
and imagined stories with clarity, candor, and heart.

Betsy has helped dozens of clients transform their books from first-draft to submission-ready,
helping them find their own voices and the essence of the stories they want to tell.
She is the host and producer of The Morning Glory Project, an interview podcast
featuring the stories of survivors, thrivers, innovators and trailblazers.
She is the author of Fire & Water, Filling Her Shoes, and From Page to Stage: Inspiration,
Tools, and Public Speaking Tips for Writers.
