What’s Included In Storytellers In Action?

Module 1: Shape Your Mindset

Before we can act in the world, we need to ground ourselves in the mindset that will help us take action. We’ll spend time digging into reasons why your voice needs to be heard and we’ll work on visualizing our dreams, managing your fears, and preparing for rejections. 

Module 2: Know Your Worth

We’ll understand how to market what you bring to the table (your values, experiences, skills, and passions), identify publications you want to work with, choose one publication you’ll send your pitch, and dive into the finances side of the equation.

Module 3: Build Your Story

In this session, we’ll start developing the ideas journal practice (we need lots of ideas if we’re to go into storytelling!) and choose the idea you will use for your pitching challenge.

Module 4: Write Your Best Pitch

In this session, we’ll analyze several pitches and look at what makes them work and we’ll get to crafting our own—with the guidance and support of our community.

Module 5: Work The Process

In this session, we’ll go over the unsexy process side of being a freelancing storyteller and learn what habits and practices keep us moving forward and gaining momentum. We’ll also send our pitch to the pub we’ve identified in Module 2!

Module 6: Keep Momentum

In this session, we’ll set expectations for the road ahead, tap into resources (there are many!), and discuss a way to get ongoing support after the course is over.
