Our fave writer-illustrator-screenwriting-vlogger, Stephanie Bourbon, has a new blog, and you know it works here at TVWriter™ – when we find something as helpful as everything Stephanie does, we just have to share!
Good morning writers,
Why should you as a visitor to TVWriter™ be interested in making audio fiction? Why should you be interested in making podcasts? Discoverability, that’s why.
The meaning of the word podcast is evolving to include any episodic, audio-only production whether nonfiction or fiction. Agents and major studios have started trawling through podcasts and their creators for new content and talent.
Some of you know that I live near the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula, in a small town called Port Townsend, Washington.
Many of you may also know that I’m a big believer in supporting local artists and arts organizations of all types. In keeping with the excitement being part of a genuine local arts scene brings to me, I’m reprinting this article from The Seattle Times about a recent feel-good event that happened in the Port Townsend neighborhood, only 25 minutes from the Brody home.
This one should make you smile:
As most TVWriter™ visitors probably know, The Wild Wild West‘s main character, James West, AKA actor Robert Conrad, died last weekend.
TVWriter™’s good buddy, Contributing Editor Herbie J Pilato, reminded us the other day that Conrad’s last TV appearance was on Herbie’s fascinating classic TV talk show, Then Again with Herbie J Pilato.
Here’s an exclusive report on the appearance, courtesy of Herbie J.
Nathan Bransford, one of TVWriter™’s favorite writers – and writing consultants – is here to tell us everything we need to know about creating heroes that work.
I’ve been on a “story essentials” kick lately as I work my way through the latest round of revisions for my new novel.
One of the big weaknesses in the last draft: my protagonist wasn’t active enough through the second act of the book.
