INTRODUCING...
Replay - Course #1: 
STORY GOLDMINE LIVE
A Brand New Story-Writing Workshop
A virtual workshop (held and recorded June 28th) based on my fan-favorite Talking Shrimp guide, Story Goldmine: 63 Surprising Places To Mine Your Everyday Life For Stories That Sell (if you don’t have it, don’t worry – I’ll include it).
In this event, we’ll:
- Dive deep into the art of connecting a story to a sale, a takeaway, or some other call to action – so your story leaves them thinking differently, satisfied, and eager to buy.
- Walk through a few examples.
- Try it together, writing to a prompt chosen from Story Goldmine.
- Workshop a few volunteers’ stories to help you master this key skill.
- You’ll come away spilling over with ideas and a fire to get them on the page – either for your own audience or a client’s.
INSTANT ACCESS / VALUE: $299
Price for UNPUTDOWNABLE + Story Goldmine Live together: $597
…Except I’m offering them for FREE, when you order 3 physical copies (hardcover or paperback) of Tough Titties.

"You might think I’m being overly dramatic when I say that “Story Goldmine” has not only drastically changed my copywriting, but also my LIFE!
It’s like I’m a new person, bubbling over with the giddiness of looking at the world through the lens of story and creativity and purpose. And the new knowledge and encouragement that YES I DO KNOW HOW to connect with my audience and serve them well! Watch “Story Goldmine” and see for yourself. 🤩"
Replay - Course #2: UNPUTDOWNABLE
Secrets To Binge-Worthy Storytelling From The Pages Of Tough Titties
In this never-before-offered, virtual training (held and recorded July 12th), you’ll learn:
- Two words to avoid (almost always) when writing a flashback - and what to use instead
- 5 ways to be funny (even if you’re writing about something heavy)
- One key element of riveting writing you’re probably missing (I found out I was!)
- How to make yourself, your speaker, or any character more likable and relatable (hint — this is why we keep reading)
- The "Twizzlers technique" that pumps up a flat paragraph
- How to come to a conclusion when you don’t actually have one
- The "pressure cooker" method of keeping your reader on pins and needles
- How truthful and accurate you need to be when writing something you partially remember – is it OK to fudge the details?
- Oops, way too long! How to cut words without losing your favorite parts
- How to craft a "mic drop" of an ending
Plus q&a – if I didn’t cover it, you get to ask it.

Replay: Behind The Titties
Relive a 2-hour Shrimper hangout/party where I walked through my whole book “journey,” including:
- At what point I first wanted to write a book (+ the many times I started one, with great enthusiasm and not much follow-through)
- How I came up with the title Tough Titties
- Why I decided to make it a collection of essays rather than memoir, and what’s the difference
- Why agent after agent loved my writing but still rejected the book
- How I finally got an agent
- The one rule I set and held firm to — and how it probably cost me a big, fat, potentially multi-6-figure book advance
- How I got the perfect cover from my publisher (when most authors cry, not in a good way, over the publisher’s ideas)
- My rookie mistake in the writing process
- Why writing the book went from fun to pure hellscape
- My dark fantasy during summer of 2021
- The “shocking” feedback I received on my early draft
- How I finally got over myself, and got that sucker written
- How I decided which chapters to cut, and which to leave in
- What I did when I ended up 25,000 words over my contractual word count
- How I handled writing about people who’d be offended by my words (and, potentially, sue me)
- The scandalous chapter name I had to change, per legal
- Whether I asked people permission to write about them
- The hot tip a well-known copywriter gave me for selling more pre-orders
- Why I felt OK being so “naked” in the book (revealing an *interesting* detail from my past)
- Can you get published without a platform? (And the story about my friend that’ll give you hope)
