Story Grid Editors Roundtable

In a rare convergence of taste, all four Roundtablers loved this week’s story, Brooklyn, and derived masses of actionable story advice from it. This 2015 film was directed by James Crowley from a screenplay that Nick Hornby adapted from Colm Tóibín’s 2008 novel of the same name.Each week one of the Roundtable team—Valerie Francis, Anne Hawley, Kim Kessler, or Leslie Watts—pitches a story to analyze in order to get the bottom of the specific story principle that we’re studying for the season. The rest of us analyze it according to our own chosen topics, and together we deepen our knowledge and level up our craft.Click here for the full show notes.
