Craft Narratives That Move People
Stories that move people. By design, not by accident.
You've told stories that landed — and stories that didn't, and you couldn't explain the difference. This book gives you the MOVE Framework to diagnose and construct narratives that create genuine audience impact, a 35-prompt Storytelling Toolkit, and a clear method for finding the story inside any data, report, or lived experience. Whether you're writing fiction, pitching a deal, building a brand, or turning research into something people will actually read — this is how you make stories move people.
- 35 ready-made, market-tested prompts: narrative diagnosis, story-finding, character development, structure and arc, context-specific story
- The MOVE Framework — Moment, Obstacle, Vulnerability, Effect — the four-element narrative diagnostic and constructor
- A "find the story" workflow that turns raw material — data, events, case studies, lived experience — into narrative
- Context-specific technique for fiction, brand narrative, pitch and persuasion, journalism, and data storytelling
- A 30-day plan for fiction writers, brand strategists, executives, journalists, coaches, and content creators
Anyone who tells stories in professional or creative contexts and wants to understand — not just intuit — why some narratives move people and others don't: fiction writers and novelists who want to deepen their narrative thinking beyond craft mechanics; screenwriters, documentary makers, and filmmakers who need tighter story logic; brand strategists and marketers who build narrative into campaigns and content; executives, leaders, and pitchers who want to persuade through story rather than argument; journalists and narrative non-fiction writers who shape facts into compelling accounts; coaches, facilitators, and educators who use story to shift perspective; content creators and podcasters who want to hold attention beyond the algorithm. Cross-context by design — the storytelling principles apply whether the reader's arena is fiction, business, or the media.
Also for:Screenwriters and playwrights who want to complement the craft mechanics in T3-13 with deeper narrative theory; creative writing students and workshop participants who want to understand story structure beyond templates; PR and communications professionals building organisational narrative; data analysts who need to present findings as a story rather than a spreadsheet.

- Apply the MOVE Framework to diagnose and construct narratives that create genuine audience impact across creative and professional contexts
- Find the story in raw material — data, events, case studies, personal experience — and shape it into a narrative with a coherent arc
- Use AI as a narrative thinking partner to develop story concepts, test structural logic, deepen character, and sharpen emotional resonance without surrendering authorial voice
- Adapt storytelling approaches across key contexts — fiction, brand narrative, pitch and persuasion, journalism and documentary, data storytelling — with appropriate technique for each
