Develop and Build Your Story Worlds! Storyteller's Gambit Coaching

Juneta Key

"You are only powerless if you believe you are powerless."
~Jamie Fox, Robin Hood, 2008

I learned to read before I started kindergarten. Books have been my friends, teacher, and source of grand adventures for long as I can remember.

In the early 80's I developed a passion for learning the writing craft. I took every course I could and read every craft book I could afford, still do.

It is one of two writing vices I must guard against least I use it as an excuse to procrastinate.

I am a novelist and short story writer, with a penchant for creating series because I see pattern and connection in everything.

2020 saw the start of my coaching business for story development, world building and short story--plus a few side services.

As of 09/11/2020 I have three open slots. Email me if you would like one. They go fast.

Contact me here for one of the three current open slots for coaching. Just fill out the form with Coaching Spot in the subject line.

~Testimonials~

Working with Juneta is the best decision I have ever made in my writing career. Not only has she helped me develop a solid story for my new novel and series, but she also sprinkles in useful and down to earth writing teaching. I will not write another word without Juneta as my coach.

~Elisabeth Rossman

Juneta Key is a great writing coach. As a new fiction writer, I was scared to start my first short story, but Juneta patiently explained how to build a story, how to show not tell, and she guided me to reach for my best work. She generously shares her extensive writing experience and is an exceptional listener. She’s also a whiz with WordPress, Canva, and Social Media. I highly recommend all of Juneta Key’s services.

~Testimonials~

I had decided to start writing fiction again, after being stuck for years. But I found I just couldn't pick one story to work on. I kept abandoning each one and coming up with new ideas. Juneta Key held my feet to the fire, made me choose one world to work on, and helped me plot three books in that world and possibly a fourth! She knows just about all there is about plotting, story development, and world building. I highly recommend Juneta Key to anyone who needs accountability and expert story development coaching.

~Meg Stewart

freelance content writer, software guru, technology and business coach

My writing style is pantser by nature. I always have key points in my story but have trouble writing enough scenes between them. I am also tired of losing 4000-6000 words of already-written-text when I explain my story to a fellow writer and realize what was written wasn’t the effect I was after. I decided I would hire someone for story development to help me out and see if my writing flowed any better or any easier. I still have a lot to learn, but Juneta Key has helped me plot my current novel, and we are working on creating a three-book fantasy series. She asks me all the right questions and keeps asking them until our ideas gel. It has always been easier for me to bounce ideas off someone else than to try and come up with ideas on my own. I plan on hiring her for the different books I have lined up.

Grumpy Old Gods

What happens when gods wane, retire, or just decide they need a change of employment?
