Description
In the words of novelist Harlan Ellison, "The trick is not becoming a writer. The trick is staying a writer."
New York Times best-selling author and British Academy Award nominee J. Michael Straczynski knew he wanted to be a writer ever since he was a child. What he didn't know was how to actually become, or stay, a writer.
Now, he's giving fellow writers the comprehensive guide he wishes he had all along, personalized tips and techniques that can't be found in any other book on writing.
Becoming a Writer, Staying a Writer culls from Straczynski's more than 30 years of experience writing for film, television, books, and comics. Designed for writers in any stage of their career, this quirky, insightful and often humorous book provides an inside look at these industries with advice and wisdom covering such topics such as:
- What fledgling writers need to know to improve and sell their work - and avoid wasting valuable time
- Tips for experienced writers who want to get to the next level
- Staying disciplined when writing is your day job
- Why writers should never wait for inspiration
- Story-planning strategies that don't kill your spontaneity
- Expert techniques for effective, memorable world-building
- How to get an agent and survive the writer's journey in more personal relationships
- Revising and editing with precision
- When and how to reinvent yourself as an artist
Becoming a Writer, Staying a Writer includes Straczynski's unique, tried-and-true methodologies that will help storytellers sharpen their work so that it's polished and ready for publication. Part toolbox and part survival guide, this book will be an indispensable guide throughout your entire writing career, offering fresh and practical insights every step of the way.

It's Straczynski! Amazing.
This book contains insight and great stories about being creative in the entertainment industry. J. Michael Straczynski, award winning writer, and creator of articles, animation, television, comics, film, prose fiction, biographies, etc..., is one of my premier modern-day writers/creatives, to me. This book is worth multiple listen and is a fantastic companion piece to his autobiography entitled "Becoming Superman." If you haven't heard that, do it now and buy a hard copy. And one to give to a friend.
In this book, Straczynski gives thoughtful and sometimes harsh insight into his carrier as a writer. He highlights mistakes he and others have made and ideas on how to avoid them. He also doesn't sugarcoat that writers, wright, no matter what.
J. Michael Straczynski has influenced my life since the age of two with his writing for the He-Man animated series, and his writing continues to be part of my life to this day. It is something genuinely sublime.
