Dickey reverses E. B. White’s famous statement that the writer should seek to lift the reader up, placing an equal responsibility on the reader in turn...

The Hollywood "Hunger" For Reality TV...

Reality TV was at the heart of what author Suzanne Collins was writing about. And I’d been deep in the TV game, present in the early meetings where the engagement and appeal of affordable budget of documentary television started to make the shift from Journalism to Documentary.

Reality TV is cheap to produce, compared to hiring writers and actors. And the hand-held cameras and edgy subject lines made it strangely compelling… with an authentic feeling that mainstream TV wasn’t able to replicate. And, with the growth of cable TV, there was a growing need for strands of new series that could fit niche channels and break out from a sea of off-network recycled repeats.

The Top Ten Mistakes Writers Make When Self-Publishing a Book...

1. Writing for the wrong reason.
The most common wrong reason to write a book is to make a lot of money. Statistically, you’re heading for disappointment. Instead, you should write a book for good reasons such as you have something valuable to say, you have a cause you want to further, or you want to meet the intellectual challenge of writing a book.

In twenty-five years I've written twelve books. The first ten were traditionally published. However, when the publisher of my book called Enchantment couldn’t
