On the technique of impactful writers:
The Academic Storyteller is for anyone who is as an academic with stories to tell, and a reason to tell them.
Authors who want their book to reach people beyond the academy understand that story is at the heart of that sort of writing, or they have an inkling that it's a missing link in their writing.
Whether you come from a discipline that reveres good storytellers, one that traditionally eschews storytelling in favor of a "just the facts" approach, or one that (enigmatically) does both, you're going to find something here to refine your technique and energize your writing.
Readers are saying things like:
-
'"Read a lot, and try to notice things." This was really revolutionary to me. I thought writing was about... writing. But turns out it's also about reading and trying to emulate techniques you find elsewhere.'
