Do you have a draft in a drawer that you can't quite wrangle into shape? StoryJoules is a visual story-structure handbook and guidance for serious novelists and memoirists whose draft is in process but stalled. It turns complex story theory into clear, full-color diagrams so you can see your character's journey, decide how your story should end, and move from pages and pieces to a coherent, satisfying book.

For writers familiar with craft books like The Writer's Journey or The Art of Memoir and still feel unsure how to apply structure to their own work-or are stuck in the 'Fun & Games' section of Save the Cat-StoryJoules offers a practical, graphic way to map character arc, plot, and theme so you can guide the story you're longing to tell. Best for intermediate and advanced writers, not complete beginners.

The 88-page, full-color handbook walks you through examples, questions, and the underlying dynamics of story that create a compelling narrative. It works for longer-form fiction and memoir, and its principles can be applied to other genres and age groups.

Writers who've authored dozens of books describe StoryJoules as the clearest resource they've found to analyze their work in progress, while newer writers say it moves them from stuck and overwhelmed to energized and in motion. Many use StoryJoules as their lifeblood reference while revising, returning to the colorful map to stay grounded in their story's true shape.

See your story more clearly and write with confidence, knowing how to captivate your readers all the way to that satisfying last page. You've got this.

Note: StoryJoules is available as a free PDF from the author's website, with ebook and paperback editions for writers who prefer a dedicated craft book on their shelf.
