About this Talk

You’ve got a story. Maybe it’s half-written. Maybe it’s still just a spark. But now you’re not so sure it’s holding up. Will readers get it? Will it even sell? Is it too late to change your mind?

In this workshop-style session, developmental editor and story coach Rachel Clair will show you how to test drive your story idea before you write another word so you can make sure it aligns with what readers actually want and keeps you excited all the way to “The End.”

After this session, you’ll know how to:

  • Do market research in a way that’s strategic, low-stress, and actually fun.
  • Tell if your idea has the hook, the heart, and enough fuel to carry you (and your readers) to the last page.

You’ll also get a free workbook to apply this method to any idea, any time, so you can walk away with a stack of reader-savvy insights to use later in your blurbs, pitches, or marketing.

This method is perfect for plotters, pantsers, and anyone in between who has ever wondered if their idea is worth writing.
