Emerson Dameron

Everyone has one great story. If you have two, you’re a storyteller.

If you have more than that, and you’ve told a few of them enough to hear them evolve in the telling, you probably have one great BIG story - one that holds the others together and reverberates with the essence of what you know to be true, haunted by hints of the person you need to become.

I want to help you take that story to the next level. And maybe into a new dimension.

I’m Emerson Dameron. I’ve been a writer my whole life. I used to perform standup, and I’ve had some success as a live storyteller, radio host, prankster, and performance artist.

Over the last few years, I got sick, got divorced, and lost a large part of my mind.

This big mess of grief brought with it a terrifying and exhilarating sense of freedom.

I found myself significantly less invested in what others thought of me, which gave me new abilities. I made art I wanted to make. I began to redefine “success” on my own terms. I rediscovered a core passion for writing and reverence for the power of crucial, compelling narrative.

Recently, a few friends in the LA storytelling world asked me to provide feedback on their work. And lo! I found something I loved to do and was good enough at that people felt good about giving me money to do it.

I now offer that service to you.

If you are a writer, storyteller, comedian, artist, entrepreneur, or any other sort of creator or performer, you can send me your big story. I immerse myself in it. When I come up for air, I will give you:

• An assessment of strengths, weaknesses, and hidden opportunities for expansion and exploration that most storytellers leave on the table
• Where you’re holding yourself back and where you need to back up
• Things you're missing that your audience is catching
• How to grant yourself the freedom on page and stage to become more of who you are
• Where you need to double down on your darkness and weirdness
• Resources for research, new angles and perspectives, and more
