What’s Your Story? Questions that Lead to Authentic, Powerful Writing

by Rachel Renee

Some of the most memorable moments in life are when we obtain the answers to our burning questions. What’s Your Story? is a guide written by editor and writing coach Rachel Renee, packed with questions to keep your creativity flowing and ensure that your writing connects powerfully with your readers.Learn how to capture and organize your ideas, how to create and use an outline, how to use different resources to gain material and supporting data for your project, and the importance of and elements of a great presentation.

From Rachel:
“As a writing coach, I employ the use of questions all the time to not only help me understand what my writers’ goals are, but also to help the writers clarify their goals, purpose, intentions, and major writing points. As we progress further into the writing process, I put myself in the seat of the reader and ask the questions that I believe they would be asking.As you can imagine, going through this process of question and answer not only yields more detailed and interesting writing, it makes the story or message come alive and sometimes causes the author to deal with thoughts and emotions that they may not have delved into as deeply before. With the intention of writing to help and liberate someone else, the author frees themselves in the process.Addressing your readers’ questions gives you the opportunity to connect with them on a deeply intimate level without ever having a face-to-face conversation. Your reader will feel as if you intimately understand them when they turn the pages of your book and find the answers they have been seeking. Throughout this book, I ask many questions to help you exercise your mind and write in a way that will have a lasting impression on your readers.”
