About Fictional Influence by Kristin McTiernan
Stories are how humans learn and grow, so telling them correctly is a skill that could very well change someone's life.
With over 15 years of experience as a full-time ghostwriter and editor, I've been helping people turn words into art, something that has become much harder in the age of rapid-release “content.” Here, we focus on the stories told to us and the ones we tell ourselves—why they’re important and how they inform our culture.
I sometimes reflect on my experiences or thoughts on current events, usually on sex, relationships, and gender discourse. And of course when I see a movie or tv show that stirs my soul, you will get to hear about why you should experience it as well.
Fictional Influence operates on a freemium model, also known as the honor system. Everything I produce is free for the first 30 days. But don't worry: No ads or sponsorships. As someone who believes in saying exactly what I want, this publication is entirely reader-supported. If you want to support my work, you can upgrade to premium, which will give you access to:
- Unrestricted access to the article archive
- Priority in comments and email replies
I also have a founders tier (Literary Fellows), which includes everything in paid plus every book I release (usually 2 per year). You get the ebook immediately and I send a paperback personally (for US subscribers; international subscribers get a copy through a POD vendor).
I’m glad you’re here and I hope you make liberal use of the comments section.
