Storytelling tools

Chapter 3 in How to Use Storytelling in Your Academic Writing, 2025, pp 21-32 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this chapter I describe several storytelling tools. Storytelling tools complement story structure by moving the story from one act to the next, making characters three-dimensional actors instead of cardboard cut-outs, creating tension and drama, and providing the reader with release. I focus on four storytelling tools that I think are especially appropriate for academic writing, and that are easy to incorporate: the human face; motion and pacing; showing and telling; and making your writing conversational.
