I'm so happy to share this one with you. As a paid subscriber, you now get a third workbook, this one for founders and anyone whose name is on the business. It goes with Your Brand Story, the new monthly essay on finding and telling the story behind your work.

The Founder Story Kit has four exercises, and it takes about 90 minutes over two sittings. You'll record the story you tell when someone asks how you got into this, find the tension in it, write it at three lengths, and build an About page around it. It also includes 8 of the 64 interview questions from The Story Excavation Method.

Paid subscribers get the kit as a Google Doc you can type straight into, just like the first two toolkits.

Paid subscribers get all three toolkits, the full method behind every essay, and 20% off the Writer's Room and the Storied Library. Come join us.
