Travel-size Story Magic Cards!!!

Erin — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 20:30:45 +0000

This is our complete 2025 edition and includes the Romance Tropes! We’ve decreased the number of Choose Your Own cards, but that’s all. We have a limited supply, so act fast.

The main difference between the Deluxe Edition and the Travel Edition is the card stock used to make these cards. It’s much thinner and the deck is only 4.5″ long as opposed to the almost 12″ of our regular deck. This deck also includes the Romance Tropes deck, which is 60 Romance Tropes! This deck is $35 (not including shipping), versus the $65 for the original Story Magic Cards ($50) and Romance Tropes ($15).

The Pros: Cards are identical in appearance. Economical! Super easy to take with you.

The Cons: These cards are thinner, printed on #80 card stock and laminated on both side. See photos for details.

60 Romance Trope Cards

Over 70 Awkward Situations Cards

Over 60 Baggage Cards

Over 65 Conflict Cards

Testimonial from Naima Simone, USA Today Bestselling Author:

My consultation with Sheila Redling and Tobi Doyle was the most productive—and fun—conversation I’ve had in a long while. Within minutes, they helped me solidify and strengthen my conflict and flesh out my characters by delving into their emotional wounds. I’m not saying they’re magicians, but pure magic happened! I came away with a much stronger book and knowing more about my story and characters. It was so exciting and I ended the call reinvigorated and eager to dive into my book! Sheila and Tobi use their invaluable knowledge, amazing insightfulness, and love of the story to assist writers in diving deeper into plot and characters, and I’m so glad I was a recipient!

Opening Pages Consults:

$100 – Tobi and Sheila will read up to fifty pages, or slightly more if the scene takes another page or two to end, and your synopsis. This includes a thirty-minute consultation via Zoom and any written notes from our readings.

$75 – Synopsis, Blurb, and Logline check, which includes a thirty-minute consultation via Zoom and any written notes from our readings. Prior to our consultation, we will send you our recommended submission tools.

$25 – First five pages consult. This includes a fifteen-minute consultation via Zoom and any written notes from our readings.
