What I teach


YOUR HERO'S TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY IS THE STORY

Hi, I'm Sue! If you struggle with plotting, there is a simpler way to write a
better story in less time without having to outline every single plot point (and
then feel guilty for going off-track later). 



As a developmental editor, I specialize in building stories around the character
transformation journey. When you plan a story from the heart of the character,
those plot points that felt so mystifying before now serve a specific purpose
(and they're much easier to plan out).

A TUNED-IN, SAVVY, HUMBLING CREATIVE

I’ve never worked with a more tuned-in, savvy, or humbling creative. Sue can see
through to the very heart of a story, then weaves pure magic to draw the very
best from your words. She has an effortless control over the art of storytelling
that allows her to mold plot structure, character motivation, and story arcs
into things of utter beauty.

EVIE DRAE  //  Romance writer, 2019 RWA® Golden Heart® Double Finalist

WHO I TEACH

My lessons are best suited to writers of character-driven fiction who want to
hone their craft in a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

My superniche is helping romance writers find the heart of their dual-POV
stories, but my methods and techniques work for most types of fiction
character-development and plotting.



"Sue has a way of making me feel like she loves my story even as she rips it
apart. It’s a gift."

~ CP Rider, Urban Fantasy author 

HOW I TEACH

Telling a good story is a lot harder than it sounds, especially when we focus on
the wrong building blocks.

I use my own personally developed logic frameworks and top-down decision funnels
to guide writers through what choices to make at what point in a story's
development. 

That may sound complicated, but techniques like the Emotional Gap Funnel, the
Story Snapshot Method, the 8-Scene Story Setup, and the Elev8 Line Editing
Approach will simplify your writing processes. 

And, my personal mission is to empower you, as the writer, to do your best work
and live your best professional life. So my teaching space is a safe, friendly,
encouraging environment that elevates the quality and skill of your work. Learn
more about my teaching style here.

LEARN THE CHARACTER FOUNDATIONS THAT GUIDE YOUR PLOT FLOW

Articles

I don't believe in putting everything valuable behind a paywall. I like to learn
on my own, and I want you to have that same freedom. You can start building and
growing your storytelling skills with the free articles that explain the
foundations of the storysmithing techniques I have created through my years as a
developmental editor for fiction writers.




⯈ Start by choosing your topic here.

Workshops

One of my favorite ways to teach is through live workshops. I work with writing
groups and other creatives in the fiction-writing space to cover new and unique
topics that sync with my storysmithing techniques and style. The best part about
attending a live workshop is being able to ask me questions directly and get
immediate answers. 




⯈ Reserve your spot in an upcoming workshop here.

Courses

I created Storysmith U to bridge the gap between finishing that first draft and
working directly with a developmental editor. The stronger your self-editing
skills are, the more you'll get out of your next dev edit. Educating yourself
means spending less time in rewrites and more time crafting stories that will
resonate with readers forever.




My courses range from quickie workbooks that get you back on track before you
hit a snag, to recordings of live workshops that you can watch as many times as
you need, to comprehensive, in-depth instruction on exactly how to use my
professional editing methods to nurture your own pre-edit manuscripts.

Free writing tools

Sometimes a simple tool can solve problems that seem complicated (but actually
aren't). I've designed these worksheets, guides, and quizzes to help you get
quick, targeted wins in your writing journey.

WHAT MY CLIENTS AND STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Sara Whitney

ROMANCE WRITER, 2019 RWA® GOLDEN HEART® AWARD FINALIST

"When Sue says she’s focused on empowering romance authors, she’s not
exaggerating. Advice is presented in Sue’s positive and encouraging style, so
it’s almost like having a friend cheering you on when you open your
work-in-progress." 

JS Harker

AUTHOR OF QUEER PARANORMAL ROMANCE

"Sue pushes me to write better and better novels.  I don’t know how long it
would’ve taken me to sharpen up my game without her, and I really don’t want to
speculate on that either."

DO YOU WRITE THIS STYLE OF FICTION?


WHAT THE HECK IS CHARACTER-DRIVEN FICTION?

Who’s in the driver’s seat for your story: the hero or the plot? The answer
determines what type of plot you need to write. And there’s one question you can
ask yourself to find out if you’re writing the RIGHT story.

What the heck is character-driven fiction?


SET YOUR STORY UP FOR SUCCESS



You've finished your draft and now it's time to think about revisions. But how
do you know where to start? How do you know how much of your story you should
revise?

This course started as a quick, 5-question flowchart that can expose some of the
most critical problems I see in early story drafts. But the lessons inside take
that learning even deeper. The first revisions you do on a draft should be the
ones that affect the whole story. Because if you do need rewrites, you want to
be as efficient as possible about making those changes.
