Write the Story only You can tell
Hi! I am Courtney Harrell, a certified Story Grid developmental editor, a novelist, screenwriter, 20-year film industry veteran and Resistance Whisperer. I believe we infuse our stories with the experiences that shape us and I help authors mine those experiences to discover the stories only they can tell.
As writers, we must use the creative and analytical sides of our brains in order to tell the best story possible in the best way possible.
I help authors transform their ideas into manuscripts and manuscripts into finished works.
