Discoverability: Episode 106: STORY + AUDIENCE podcast
In this sixth episode, screenwriter Jill Golick and I explore how to use the STORY+AUDIENCE approach to help you and your creative work get found more easily online. This is about more than appealing to the algorithms of the search engines (by using search engine optimization) and includes thinking strategically about social sharing and the first few minutes of your television show, web series or film. I encourage Jill and the listeners to revisit the homework from episode 103 and gather more data on what language to use and what to share where.

Career Building: Episode 104: STORY + AUDIENCE podcast
In this fourth episode, screenwriter Jill Golick and I discuss how writers and other creatives need to grow their own audiences. Jill explores how she can use the tools in her writer's toolbox to create an online version of herself, a persona, to only share as much of her life as she strategically needs to and I challenge her to use what she's learned so far in some very practical and applied ways.

Announcing the new STORY + AUDIENCE podcast
I am so excited to finally announce the release of a new podcast I have been working on for a few months with my colleague & brilliant writer friend, Jill Golick. The launch got delayed slightly because of, you know, a world pandemic, but here it FINALLY is!
The first season is eight episodes long with a new episode being released every week starting this week. So, without futher ado, I give you STORY + AUDIENCE with Jill Golick and Annelise Larson.
“Screenwriter Jill Golick and digital marketing strategist Annelise Larson invite you to join their conversation about creating stories that connect deeply with audiences and how to use that connection to build a long-term career as a storyteller (especially of film, TV, web series and other screen based stories). Each episode will include practical, applied homework for writers and other creators to start to develop their own STORY + AUDIENCE strategy.”
In this first episode, Jill & I discuss the inspiration for this podcast series, which episodes we are looking forward to and I give everyone their first homework assignment.
