Writer’s Workshop Wednesday: Stephen Chbosky

Last year, I read Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky loved everything about it. I stayed up way later than I should have while reading this novel and would even rush home from work at night to jump back into the mesmerizing story. I love books like that, and Imaginary Friend is a definite page-turner.

Stephen Chbosky’s best-known book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, was successfully adapted to the big screen thanks to the authors writing and directing talents. He also has written and/or directed several films, including Rent (the 2005 adaptation), As Above, So Below (2014), Beauty and the Beast (the 2017 live-action remake), Wonder (2017), and the upcoming Dear Evan Hansen (the 2021 film adaptation).

Below are some interviews with Chbosky talking about his various projects and writing.
