Welcome to my blog for writers and others who work with scripts, write scripts or books, or who pitch projects to Hollywood.
Feel free to send me your questions on screenwriting — the craft and the business — as well as the art of adapting books into scripts.
I'm also editing books now — specializing in self-help and spiritual development non-fiction as well as spiritual and other fiction. I'll add postings with info from other writers as well as publishers, editors and agents from time to time.
Also — check out my interview on "The Exhilaration Effect: Building the Courage to Take Your Leap of Faith" by Kandi Phillips for her Blogtalk show. My co-author Camille Leon and I talk about our book, our approach to taking Leaps of Faith to enhance your life and career, and our experiences getting to the Top 25 out of 3000 submissions in the Next Top Spiritual Author 2010 competition!
