The Story Map

Stop Writing Against Your Nature. Build a Story That Fits Your Soul.

Most writers are told to follow a "universal" process that feels like wearing someone else’s shoes. The Story Map is a high-level strategic partnership that combines the structural rigor of the Author Accelerator method with the deep psychological insight of Archetypal Astrology.

You don’t need more generic writing advice. You need a narrative blueprint that aligns your unique creative frequency with the themes you were born to write. Move from a scattered draft to a bulletproof story structure in 6 weeks.

Let’s see if your story and my process are a match.

What to Expect

A 6-Week Narrative Intensive

The Diagnostic (Week 1): We begin with your Writer’s Compass, a bespoke analysis of your natal archetypes. This isn't a personality quiz; it’s the data we use to identify your natural creative rhythms and the recurring themes you are narratively "coded" to explore.
The Strategic Alignment (Week 2): We meet for a 60-minute 1:1 session to bridge the gap between your archetypal blueprint and your current project. We’ll identify exactly where you are fighting your nature and how to stop.
The Mapping Phase (Weeks 3–5): You’ll dive into the Story Map Workbook, a 10-step deep dive into Core Drive, Character Motivation, and World Building. This is where the structural rigor of the Author Accelerator method meets archetypal depth.
The Master Feedback & Editorial Letter (Week 6): Once your map is complete, I provide comprehensive in-line feedback and a high-level Editorial Letter. I don't just tell you what's wrong; I provide targeted, prioritized next steps to get your story draft-ready.
The Launch Session: We conclude with a 90-minute coaching intensive to finalize your strategy. You’ll leave with a clear, actionable roadmap for your manuscript.

Author, Astrologer, Pattern Seer

I’m Margaret, a writer, coach, and astrological guide with over five years of experience helping writers uncover their story patterns and creative potential. My work blends literary insight with astrological depth, focusing on the placements that truly shape your voice, imagination, and story structure.

If you’ve ever felt like traditional writing advice doesn’t quite fit, this work was built for you.

Each Story Map experience is designed to be something you can come back to again and again. You’ll receive written feedback and Zoom session recordings, so you can revisit our work together as needed.

Is this for you?

The Story Map is designed for the writer who is:

Tired of "One-Size-Fits-All" Advice: You’ve tried the 5 a.m. writing clubs and the rigid beat sheets, and they left you burnt out and discouraged.
Stuck in a Narrative Loop: You have a great premise, but your characters feel thin or your plot loses steam in the middle.
Seeking Professional Rigor: You want more than a "cheerleader." You want a coach with an MFA-level understanding of craft who can help you build a story that resonates on a primal, archetypal level.

The Transformation

You will emerge from these 6 weeks with:

A Bulletproof Story Structure: A defined central tension, clear stakes, and a protagonist arc that feels inevitable, not forced.
A World That Works: A cohesive setting where the rules of "expansion and contraction" drive the plot forward.
An Ideal Reader Strategy: Use your archetypal data to identify the specific audience hungry for your themes, and a concrete plan to find them where they hang out.
Creative Permission: The confidence to write in madcap bursts (or whatever your chart dictates) without the guilt of "not being a real writer".

Frequently Asked Questions

Not even close. While we use your natal chart as the data set, the work we do is grounded in literary craft and structural analysis. Think of the astrology as a diagnostic tool—it helps us bypass months of "guessing" to find the core themes and character motivations that are already native to your imagination.
No. You don't need to know your houses from your aspects. I translate the "astrological data" into clear, actionable writing advice. You’ll receive a report and a workbook that speak the language of character, plot, and pace, not just stars and planets.
Traditional coaching can try to fit you into a pre-existing mold (like "write every day" or "use this specific beat sheet"). The Story Map is process-agnostic. We build the structure around your specific creative rhythm and your unique voice, ensuring the story feels authentic to you rather than forced into a template.

That is actually the ideal time for the Story Map. It’s much easier to architect a building before you’ve laid the foundation. We will ensure that when you do start drafting, you aren't just wandering—you're following a blueprint built for success.
I am your partner, not a dictator. Your chart reveals patterns and possibilities, not a fixed script. We use those patterns to brainstorm the most resonant choices for your story, but you always have the final creative "say." This is about empowering your intuition, not replacing it.
Yes. I understand that a $3,000 investment is significant. I offer a payment plan to make the 6-week intensive more accessible; we can discuss it in more detail during your free discovery session.
