Guest: Stephen Jay Schwartz, Website | https://www.stephenjayschwartz.com/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals PodcastWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com_____________________________Episode Title: The Rhythm of Storytelling: From Screenwriting to Novels with Stephen Jay SchwartzGuest: Stephen Jay SchwartzShort Intro: How does storytelling change across books, movies, and music? Stephen Jay Schwartz joins Marco to discuss the art of crafting stories that resonate across mediums.Show Notes:Storytelling is more than words on a page—it's rhythm, structure, and emotion. In this episode of Audio Signals, Marco Ciappelli welcomes back Stephen Jay Schwartz, a novelist, screenwriter, and former director of development in Hollywood. Their conversation explores the differences between writing novels and screenplays, the challenge of adapting stories across mediums, and the musicality of language in writing.What happens when a book becomes a movie? Many argue the book is always better, but is that really the case? Schwartz, having worked closely with directors and screenwriters, explains how the transition from text to film is often a process of distillation—finding the essence of a story and reshaping it to fit a new format. He shares insights from his experience in Hollywood, where screenplays often change hands and visions evolve. Does this creative transformation enhance the original work, or does it strip away its soul?The discussion then shifts to a more fundamental aspect of storytelling: rhythm. Drawing from his musical background, Schwartz describes how writing, much like composing music, involves an inherent cadence. Sentences have beats, paragraphs flow with momentum, and dialogue needs a natural tempo. Whether consciously or not, every good writer crafts their prose with a certain musicality that enhances readability and engagement.Marco and Stephen also touch on the way different minds visualize stories. Not everyone ‘sees' scenes play out in their head while reading—some need visual prompts, while others experience narrative through an auditory lens. How does this affect the way we consume stories? With attention spans shrinking, are we losing the patience for immersive storytelling in books, gravitating instead toward visually driven media?Before wrapping up, they pose a philosophical question: When is a story truly finished? Da Vinci reportedly never considered the Mona Lisa complete, and writers often feel similarly about their work. Does a story ever really end, or does it just reach a stopping point?For anyone fascinated by the intersection of storytelling, film, and music, this episode offers thought-provoking insights. Tune in for a conversation that challenges assumptions about creative processes and the evolving landscape of narrative arts._____________________________ResourcesBio, books, and more: https://www.stephenjayschwartz.com/_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQvnJ8eHUlVX8AuyhehtexAAre you interested in advertising your brand on ITSPmagazine?

Welcome to another episode of B2B Marketing & More! I've been reading many books about writing screenplays lately because there are many talks about bringing storytelling into content marketing. I thought I might also go to the sources and dig in on how to write a screenplay and how to tell stories effectively. The three books I was reading are: Story by Robert McKee, Screenplay Writing 434 from Lew Hunger, and Save the Cat from Blake Snyder. In this episode: Content must have a good sense of what it's about and who it's for The importance of structure Know your characters, and dig deep into your character development How screenplay writing relates to B2B marketing writing? How to apply screenplay structure to B2B Marketing? What is the best way for marketers to focus on what they want to say and how to say it? What can screenplays teach us about creating a customer journey? How to create a one-liner to express the essence of your brand? Quotes from the episode: “Another thing I've discovered is that every scene, every movement, and every word matters. Everything in a movie is intentional and purposeful.” “The structure of a screenplay is your foundation before you can create scenes and dialogues. The structure of your marketing is your marketing plan, processes and tools.” ————— If you want to chat, reach out to any social media channels or email me hello@pamdidner.com.
