Writer Therapy is a growing editing services company with a unique approach to story analysis. We work with traditional authors, indie authors, and publishing houses to help create books of the highest quality. The book market is growing more competitive every day, and our job is to help authors and publishing houses take their books to the next level. Our clients include New York Times Bestselling authors, Hollywood actors, and more.
At Writer Therapy, we have been trained in the Farmer System of Narrative Analysis (FSNA)—also known as The Story Cone Method—which is a ground-breaking system of analysis that helps “code” out a story. For those familiar with The Hero’s Journey (a pattern of narrative identified by scholar Joseph Campbell), FSNA gives empirical evidence as to why that pattern resonates with so many audiences and readers—and goes further to identify all the other patterns for the different kinds and types of story available. FSNA is based on over 35 years of empirical research, builds off established literary theory, and has years of refinement in college classrooms, conference workshops, and real-world applications. Interns will walk away with a working knowledge of this system that will make them highly competitive in the work environment.
