Writer Tom Leveen is currently battling an age old dilemma: should he pursue projects that interest him the most or should he try to follow the market and do something more commercial. Recognizing that some types of projects seem to do better than others on Kickstarter, Tom is questioning whether that should be a filter he runs future projects through when deciding what to work on. In this mastermind style session, four other creators and Tyler will help Tom sort through this dilemma.

Based on the novel "Party" by Tom Leveen, Butterflies takes place over the course of an evening and follows Beckett and her friends as they head towards the hottest holiday party of the year. We see Beckett's journey as she struggles with the heavy mental burden she is forced to carry and how it contrasts to the festive outlook of her friends. This is more than a film about a teenager with some personal drama, it's a personal look at mental illness and suicidal thoughts. Ryan McCoy is very candid about his own struggles and having reached some clarity, as he says, is dedicated to helping others find it via this film and his Youtube content. He and Kevin Stevenson have created this beautiful film that has a serioismessage. It is currently in distribution and up for consideration for the Sundance Film Festival.

Notes:The Verbivore mentions understanding the developmental stages and challenges that teenagers face as part of the process of writing with empathy and understanding. Here are a few resources:NOBA Project Adolescent Development - https://nobaproject.com/modules/adolescent-development#:~:text=Conclusions,exploring%20romantic%20relationships%20and%20sexualityPsychology Today Adolescence - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/adolescenceThe Verbivore misremembered what happens in Veronica Roth’s short stories in her Four . The part that she was referencing comes from the end of the last book in the Divergent series Allegiant.The Verbivore mentions a Writer’s Digest article written by a teenage writer with a list of things not to do, that specifically discusses problems with using slang when you don’t fully understand how it is used by that generation. Here is the link to that article:https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-fiction/what-not-to-do-when-writing-ya-books-advice-from-a-teen-writerThe Verbivore mentions an article that discusses creating a realistic teenage voice in the narrative, using Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries as an example. Here is that article:https://blog.reedsy.com/writing-young-adult/The Verbivore mistakenly says “Ted” when the author is Tom Leveen. Here is a quote from Laurie Halse Anderson about hope in her books:“Ending on an encouraging note is part of my moral code. Teenagers need to see a model of hope and growth.”The Verbivore mentions a quote from the movie The Jane Austen Book Club, it focuses on a character who is still grappling with some trauma from childhood and her experience in school. That dialogue exchange is as follows:“Baby, high school's over.”“High school's never over..”Books Mentioned:The Hate U Give by Angie ThomasThe Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsDivergent by Veronica RothFour by Veronica RothAllegiant by Veronica RothThe Harry Potter Series (Books 1-7) by J.

In this short clip, I chat with author Tom Levine, about how one of his books got picked up for a movie script. He talks about how that came about, but more importantly, he talks about how he doesn't expect this to be a big box office hit. What he is trying to do is just pilot and test something new to see if it might be an opportunity for him in the future and our full interview we talk about how his overarching goal is to be a storyteller. Tom is really good at is executing a number of different formats for that storytelling to see if something will catch on and to leverage that experience. I love Tom's perspective when it comes to meeting his larger goals and it can be applied to any field. Always be testing. Always be learning. Always stay humble.

In this full-length interview, I chat with Tom Levine. Tom is an author, teacher, and speaker. He's written for Spawn, he's published novels, and one of his books just got picked up for a movie script. In this conversation, we talk about how Tom got to where he is today and how it's a little bit difficult to be a creative when you're putting out work into the world. We talk about overcoming challenges and finding vessels for your overarching goals. Tom talks about a day in his life, and he gives a lot of really great practical advice for young writers, experienced writers, and people who are just interested in creative endeavors. Tom's been doing this for a long time and he's found a lot of success so I'm really excited for this episode.

In today's short clip. I chat with author Tom Levine. Tom has been really successful in his career so far - he's written for Spawn, he's published novels and one of his books just got picked up for a movie script. One of the narratives that emerge in my conversation with Tom is that he's always adapting to new environments and he's continually testing different channels and formats. This is unique advice that I don't hear a lot from creatives and I think anybody who's aspiring to be an author, a communicator, or a content creator needs to hear this advice.

In this short clip, I chat with author Tom Levine, about how he came into a gig writing for the comic book Spawn. This gig was a really big deal and reveals a very important career growth trick hack tip: what's important about Tom getting this gig is it was partially because of someone he knew, but it was mostly about the fact that that person knew Tom's abilities, and knew what he was interested in. You could be the best author or the best anything in this world, but if nobody knows your intentions and your goals, they're never going to think of you when an opportunity arises. Tom's story is such a practical example of that working out in his favor.

"I'm the girl nobody knows until she commits suicide, then suddenly everyone had a class with her. You know the one I mean" - Party by Tom Leveen. Mental illness is a real thing. As teachers, it's our responsibility to be aware of what's happening with our students and providing them with support when they can't do it themselves.

Matthew Currin had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Leveen, an award winning Author of 9 novels primarily in the horror and young-adult fiction genres. Tom describes himself as an ‘escape artist’ and his work transcends a myriad of platforms, genres and mediums. His passion for writing and art more broadly began at a very young age. He wrote his first novel in the 8th grade and proceeded to start his own theater production from scratch. Tom speaks to the lasting impact that nearly 15 years spent as an actor, writer and producer of theater had on his writing. For example, many authors struggle with crafting compelling dialogue, but Tom’s skills were sharpened by his experiences in the world of theater – after all, that’s all there is on the stage. Those experiences have fueled his passion for writing novels in recent years, and serves as a fundamental testament to why he encourages others to experience different works of art. According to Tom, the ‘coolest gig’ he ever had was when he had the chance to write for the comic book series, SPAWN, where he developed a new villian for the series that can still be found in subsequent publications. In addition to writing his own, Tom also has developed a passion for helping others learn to tell their stories. He’s spent the past several years teaching writing classes and seminars, and has served as a guest speaker at conferences for writers and teachers on countless occasions. He advises young aspiring writers to ensure they take time to experience different things in life. He preaches the importance of getting out there to explore the world through adventures as opposed to staying in your comfort zone. Tom is gearing up to offer online writing courses in the near future, where he’ll help aspiring novelists and other artists learn to tell their own stories.

Shackled by Tom Leveen

Tom Leveen talks his new book #HellWorld

Tom Leveen is the author of five young adult novels: PARTY, MANICPIXIEDREAMGIRL, and ZERO (a 2013 YALSA Best Book) with Random House; SICK, with Abrams/Amulet; and most recently, RANDOM with Simon Pulse. His next novel, SHACKLED, debuts in August 2015. Tom is a frequent speaker at schools and conferences, where he brings his 22 years of theatre background to booktalks and writing classes. For more information, visit tomleveen.com.   RANDOM is a tense, gripping exploration of cyberbullying and teen suicide is perfect for fans of Before I Fall and Thirteen Reasons Why. Late at night Tori receives a random phone call. It’s a wrong number. But the caller seems to want to talk, so she stays on the line. He asks for a single thing—one reason not to kill himself. The request plunges her into confusion. Because if this random caller actually does what he plans, he’ll be the second person connected to Tori to take his own life. And the first just might land her in jail. After her Facebook page became Exhibit A in a tragic national news story about cyberbullying, Tori can’t help but suspect the caller is a fraud. But what if he’s not? Her words alone may hold the power of life or death. With the clock ticking, Tori has little time to save a stranger—and maybe redeem herself—leading to a startling conclusion that changes everything…
