Publisher's Summary
What is the Story Grid?
The Story Grid is a tool developed by editor Shawn Coyne to analyze stories and provide helpful editorial comments. It's like a CT Scan that takes a photo of the global story and tells the editor or writer what is working, what is not, and what must be done to make what works better and fix what's not.
The Story Grid breaks down the component parts of stories to identify the problems. And finding the problems in a story is almost as difficult as the writing of the story itself (maybe even more difficult).
The Story Grid is a tool with many applications:
- It will tell a writer if a story "works" or "doesn't work".
- It pinpoints story problems but does not emotionally abuse the writer, revealing exactly where a story (not the person creating the story) has failed.
- It will tell the writer the specific work necessary to fix that story's problems.
- It is a tool to re-envision and resuscitate a seemingly irredeemable pile of paper stuck in an attic drawer.
- It is a tool that can inspire an original creation.

Insightful Content, Bad Audio Editing
The content was insightful and well written. The voice actor was alright, but the audio editing was poor. There were several places where the voice actor made a mistake and corrected it with the mistake still making it through to the final cut. It didn't make it impossible to listen to, but it was still annoying.

Great information to learn but poorly executed
I enjoyed the information, a useful framework, but for a story about editing they ironically did a poor job editing the voice. moreover the narrator mumbles/ slurs certain words. not typically of audibles standard.

Starts badly but catches up with good info
There are a great many technical errors and poor post-production (editing is strangely amateurish) for the first half of the tape and the narration is sometimes hard to comprehend because the reader is not connecting to the ideas and delivery m. But eventually it levels off and some interesting concepts are offered. What’s interesting is that the writer begins his book from a background and focus on novel writing and publishing but eventually all that is discussed are Hollywood movies and screenwriting.
