In the words of novelist Harlan Ellison, "The trick is not becoming a writer. The trick is staying a writer." New York Times bestselling 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 thirty 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 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

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
