Guest Post On Laurence O'Bryan

A short guest post: Ken Atchity – master story merchant
I met Ken Atchity on a visit to a writer’s conference in San
Francisco. Ken was one of the speakers. He is both a master storyteller
and a great producer. Below you will find a brief biography of Ken, and
below that his answer to this question, what is your number one piece of
advice for storytellers, Ken?



Kenneth John Atchity or “Ken Atchity” is an American
producer and author, who has worked in the world of letters as a
literary manager, editor, speaker, writing and career coach, book
reviewer, brand consultant, and professor of comparative literature.



Ken’s films include the Jim Carrey movie, Ripley’s Believe It or Not and Amityville 4 among others. 

  

He and his companies, The Story Merchant, Atchity
Entertainment International, Inc. The Writers Lifeline, Inc, and The
Louisiana Wave Studio, LLC, produce films and develop books for
publication; and books, screenplays, and films for television and
cinema. They also consult with writers about their career strategies and
tactics.



So, Ken, what is your number one piece of advice for storytellers?




My advice to storytellers is to recognize that your stories can change the world,
and that you can make that happen best by retaining control over your
own career and getting your stories onto the Internet and into print
without losing your publishing or other rights!

You are born under the lucky star of the Worldwide Web and it would
be a crime for you not to take advantage of that piece of good fortune.



Ken is supremely positive about the impact of the web and about the
opportunity it provides for writers. We are on the cusp of a new age.
Thanks Ken.
