The Black Irish Books crew, Steven Pressfield, Callie Oettinger, Jeff Simon and I (mostly Steve, Callie and especially Jeff) put together a really cool Thank You promotion for everyone who takes time to read our stuff at www.stevenpressfield.com and here at www.storygrid.com. You can check it out here.
Included in that Thank You promotion is the book I referred to in my last post, the one that pushed Steve Pressfield from “unpublished starving artist” to bestselling writer. Steve put Norm Stahl’s Foolscap Method to the test when he wrote his first published novel, which not only put his work into bookstores, but also onto big screens. The Legend of Bagger Vance adaptation was directed by Robert Redford and starred Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron. Steve writes about the entire experience in The Authentic Swing, also part of the promotion, which lays out just how he practically applied Norm Stahl’s advice.
Next week, I’ll begin fleshing out exactly how my version of the Foolscap Method, The Foolscap Global Story Grid works. I’ll walk you line by line through it.
In the meantime, I’ve had two interviews that I’ve recently done transcribed which cover a whole slew of stuff like:
Next year, Black Irish will be bringing out my book based on the content in this site, The Story Grid, and we’ll definitely figure out a similar way to reward all of you for your support before we release it widely. The book is in production now, so hang in there.
For new subscribers and OCD Story nerds like myself, all of The Story Grid posts are now in order on the right hand side column of the home page beneath the subscription shout-out.
