Thank you so much for being a paid subscriber. As a thank-you, you get two workbooks drawn from the very first stage of the process I use with my ghostwriting clients. Each one takes about an hour, and you'll come out of each with something finished in your hands.
The Voice-Finding Toolkit
Four exercises to help you hear how you actually sound before you write another chapter. You'll record yourself talking about your book, mark the phrases and habits that are unmistakably yours, rewrite one stiff paragraph in your spoken voice, and define your voice in three precise pairs, such as "direct, not blunt."
The Story Mining Toolkit
Four tools to help you find the stories you've stopped noticing. You'll map the turning points of your life and work, answer ten prompts that shake loose forgotten moments, capture one story in full detail on a Story Card, and run it through a four-question filter to decide whether it belongs in your book.
