Behind the Scenes: StoryBuilders as Your Creative Partner

By Nita Gess, StoryArtisan

A book is a dream converter. It gives clarity on your core content.

— Bill Blankschaen

You have some great ideas that have been percolating in your mind for a while. Every time you talk about them, others say, “You should write a book!” 

But you’re not sure. Writing a book is a lot of work, isn’t it? I don’t know the first thing about writing an entire book, let alone getting it published. And besides that, I’m not a very good writer. 

You, my friend, need a creative partner. And not just any creative partner. You need one who has experience and connections and comes with a talented team.   

Enter StoryBuilders. 

At StoryBuilders, we write books all day, every day. Books are our bread and butter. Books are our passion. 

Why Write a Book?

Books capture ideas in a way that is well thought out and intentional. Writing a book takes your dreams and turns them into something tangible. Books are a time-tested storytelling format that connects with people. And books are a foundational piece for building your intellectual property and giving you credibility. 

Writing a book can seem intimidating—like an overwhelming task—but you don’t have to be alone in the process.

If you’re feeling a little worried about your book idea, that’s okay. It’s normal. Any creative endeavor is a little scary when you first start to take action. And StoryBuilders can help.

Why Choose StoryBuilders as Your Creative Partner?

We have helped hundreds of people just like you take their ideas and make them even better. We don’t call it a creative partnership for nothing. This is your book, and we’re going to help you get there.

What’s it like to have an elite team in your corner?

You’ll get personalized service and attention in a collaborative process. We’ll take your ideas, expound on them, make suggestions, guide you, and—ultimately—make this book yours!

Once you decide to take action and work with us, here’s the basic roadmap of what you can expect:

• Onboarding Call — You’ll meet with your StoryGuide to talk through the entire process. We’ll discuss logistics and the digital tools we’ll use. You’ll be able to ask questions and share any background content that will help us assemble the best team to tackle your project.
• Kickoff Call — We’ll get to know each other. We want to hear more about you and your book idea. We’ll introduce the team of writers and editors who will help bring it to life. We’ll go over the process for working together, and we’ll discuss the schedule and project timeline.
• Regularly Scheduled Calls – We’ll meet regularly via Zoom to make sure the project is moving forward. 
• Voice Check — We’ll draft the first chapter and have you take a look at it. Does it sound like you? Did we capture the essence of your idea?
• Creative process — This is where the magic happens. This is where StoryBuilders shines as your creative partner. We take your ideas and give them structure and life in the form of a completed manuscript.  
• Design Call — We meet with our talented design team to make sure the book has the look and feel that you want.
• Project Handoff Call — Depending on the arrangements we’ve made together for publishing, we help you get your ideas out into the world. 

When we work together as creative partners, your part of the process is vital. We can only work our bookish magic with regular input from you. You can help by staying engaged, coming to meetings prepared, and working collaboratively as we, together, make your book the best it can be.
