This week we spoke with James Mason about loglines! He's putting together a book on loglines, so be sure to check out the episode and then stay tuned to hear when he publishes. https://www.facebook.com/screenrioter Join Justin and Paul in another episode of Creative Writing Life! Paul's book - GO AHEAD AND ASK - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WRFNMV5 Justin's book - CREATIVE WRITING CAREER - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YR2SHJ4
Justin and Paul discuss self publishing. If you're considering getting your book out there, here are some thoughts! Also, did you check out the Creative Writing Career book from Justin yet? https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Writing-Career-Justin-Sloan-ebook/dp/B07YR2SHJ4 Creative Writing Career is a resource to help writers go from aspiring to professional, full-time writers. The book includes information on the writing process and ways to improve one's craft, but mostly focuses on how to get discovered and where to concentrate energy in the meantime. The content of the book is supplemented by writer interviews, featuring incredibly gifted authors, game writers, and screenwriters who share the wisdom they have gained. Interviews include writers with credits at or on Pixar, O-Dark-Thirty, Borderlands, Assassins Creed 2, Ninja Boy, and the Traveler's Gate trilogy.
The team discusses genre writing, and then we play an old episode of CREATIVE WRITING CAREER episode: Bob Goodman discusses superhero writing.
The TV Writer Podcast is back, and better than before! In our re-launch, host Gray Jones will be primarily interviewing showrunners and EP level writers.
