There’s a lot of things going on in the writing world today, hopefully first and foremost in your writing lives you are writing. After all, those poems, short stories, and novels, won’t write themselves. I want to talk about something that we don’t normally talk about on the program. As a matter of fact, this episode is entirely about this subject in one crucial way. You see, today’s guest has a wealth of knowledge to offer us on the topic of scriptwriting.

Tune into today's episode to hear what was, for me, one of the most amazing and interesting interviews I think I have ever done. My guest, Joe Maddrey, has worked in television doing something that I have always found fascinating, writing a script. Today we are going to talk about all kinds of things. 

Join us as we chat about his book and documentary, “Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film.”What started it all for Joe Maddrey in terms of your interest in the writing world?What was your attraction to scriptwriting?Tell us about what kinds of things have held him back and the best advice he had ever gotten which helped him move past that internal block.How much creative license does he get when he sits down to write a script for a television show?His editing process.What the timelines are like for writing a project looks like for him.He is going to tell is about his recent book, Adapting Stephen King and what his inspiration was for that book.


I'm not kidding folks, this is one of the most interesting interviews I think I have ever done. Check it out!
