The Story Space

The Community

A personal story is more than a memoir or an anecdote. It’s how you draw universal meaning from your life and connect with readers, listeners, or just more deeply with yourself.

As a memoirist, I know stories can be difficult to excavate. We don’t think they have value, or they remind us of something we’d rather forget. But bringing a story to light helps you process and shift the narrative — and helps others recognize themselves in it. We are all humans with universal stories, after all.

The Story Space is a writing and storytelling community inside States of Matter where you can discover your story and learn how to use it to connect with the world.

What’s included for Free:

• Weekly craft posts: less lecture, more showing the work.

• Story Sprints (write-ins): Short writing sessions designed to get words from your mind to the page.

• Story Brunch: A Zoom celebration to share our writing on the last Sunday of every month (paid members)

Upgrade for the full experience, including a monthly webinar on a craft move or theme and 1-on-1 Story Discovery sessions.
