Everyone Has a Story Worth Telling in a Book
Author Lisa Caprelli recently spoke on Good Day Orange County about her love of narrative and how everyone has a story worth sharing. Self-published author of over 21 books and she is also a children’s book author and creator of the Unicorn Jazz series Caprelli stresses the ability of story to shape our life and help us to connect with others. Her path into writing started as a young child with a passion to see her words in print, and she continued despite the discouraging facts—where just a tiny proportion of aspirant writers finish their novels.
Caprelli emphasized the value of personal experiences and how any person may relate tales full of hardships, successes, and the impact of prior generations when asked about their life. Her conviction that every person has a unique story leads her to assist others in realizing their stories. Many individuals have ideas for novels, she says, but many lack the road map to begin going. Caprelli fills in here providing direction and acting as a “accountability partner” to make sure their stories find expression.
Caprelli’s account of her work with others—that of a mother of five who, under her mentoring, finished and published a book of poems—was among the most memorable parts of the interview. Along with changing her life, this encounter inspired the author’s will to keep speaking and writing.
Readers of all ages can relate to Caprelli’s Unicorn Jazz social-emotional learning speaker and with her book series, which follows a shy unicorn overcoming issues her belonging and being unique. The universal themes of self-acceptance and finding one’s voice in the book will help Caprelli to encourage honest communication between parents and children using her stories.
Caprelli also is dedicated to equip the following generation. She co-authored Skip a Step, a book targeted at teenagers, with interviews with accomplished businesspeople offering their life lessons and insights on what it means to live a meaningful life. Caprelli also actively participates in seminars guiding teenagers in writing and publishing their own books, therefore enabling them to include “author” to their CV before to graduation.
Her message is simple: your story is meaningful regardless of your age and can be shared with the world with the correct direction and will. Caprelli’s writings are evidence of the strength of narrative and its effects on people and societies both separately.
