Script to Shelf #2

Script to Shelf is a podcast series for writers and readers interested in following the journey of a story from initial script through to a published work on a shelf in a bookstore.

Episode #2 – Taking the all important step to move from “I’m going to write a book” to “I’m writing a book.” And what’s the trick to finding the write title, the perfect beginning, and once discovered, really capturing the tone, vibe, perspective and voice you’re looking for.

Regardless of genre, fiction, non fiction or any other differences in style, there is a lot of common ground that needs to be covered by every storyteller. It can be daunting at times confusing, and knowing when to bring others into the creative process is as important as knowing who to bring in.

In this episode of script to shelf, I share how I captured my sense of humour through chapter titles and introduced my main characters while giving a reader an immediate sense of what type of story I was going to tell and how I was going to tell it, all in the first half page.
