You've got a story inside you, but writing it feels impossible. If you're having trouble bringing your story to life, the problem isn't you. It's that you've been buried under a mountain of rigid rules and theory and advice that contradicts itself.
But what if writing didn't have to be a struggle? What if all you had to do was harness your brain's natural storytelling instincts to write the book you've always dreamed of? Sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong.
My name is Abby and I help writers make their stories matter by harnessing the psychology of storytelling to transform their ideas into a masterpiece. For the past 8 years, I've been sharing my passion for storytelling on my YouTube channel, which has grown to over half a million writers from all over the world. Every single Wednesday, I have sat down at my desk, turned on my camera, and ranted about what makes a story actually good. Why? Because I've met thousands of writers who were once just like me. Frustrated, burnt out, devouring all the information they could find about creative writing, only to be left feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, and totally not qualified to write a book.
So, I did something kind of crazy. I made it my mission to decode the story instincts we all possess. Because guess what? Your brain already knows how to tell stories. Think about it. Stories are how we understand the world, connect with other people, and remember what matters most. That means storytelling isn't something humans invented. It's something we're built for.
So, do you need another rule book, another instruction manual that you're just going to forget and throw away? No. All you need is a simple, clear method to unlock the creative genius that's already inside you so you can stop overthinking, start writing with confidence, and finally bring your story to life. And that's why I wrote this book.
Spoiler alert, it's not your grandmother's writing guide. See, most writing guides bury you in information and leave you to cry your way through the rest of the process. But I've designed Make Your Story Matter to be an interactive journey complete with a companion workbook that you can follow chapter by chapter as we build an unforgettable story from the ground up. That's right. You don't have to read this book cover to cover before you can start implementing what you learned. You can start taking action literally in chapter 1. You'll make progress on your story while you read, and by the end, you'll have a failproof road map to follow and all the confidence you need to bring your story to life.
All throughout this book, we decode the hidden science and emotional depth behind what has made great stories work for thousands of years. I call it the WWW method. Who, what, why. It's a simple but powerful three-step framework rooted in psychology. But not that kind of psychology. This kind of psychology. The kind that makes your readers flip open your book and instantly get sucked into the world of your characters, their hopes, desires, fears. The kind of psychology that's simple enough for a fifth grader to understand and powerful enough to make a total stranger addicted to your story from page one.
Make Your Story Matter addresses every piece of the storytelling puzzle. You'll learn to break free from rigid writing rules and harness your brain's natural storytelling instincts. Transform raw ideas into emotionally compelling stories. Craft complex, magnetic characters that readers connect with and care about. Outline gut-gripping plots that hook readers from the opening sentence to the final page. Find your unique voice and make it unforgettable. and beat creative burnout and reconnect with the joy of writing.
