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.

Thanks! JMS is a treasure.

Wow!!! Thanks!

I’m just past the halfway mark and wow, this book is phenomenal. Wish I knew some young writers to give this to — could be life changing.
Made my mark as a successful writer when I was still quite young and major health setbacks have placed me in a position of starting over again at a rather advanced age.
Finding this book a bit earlier would have been helpful. Apart from having useful writing tips, it provides a framework for planning the trajectory of a lifetime career.
Anyhow, if you are a writer, grab this download, you won’t be sorry.

Finished — superb! Does anyone have his autobiography “Becoming Superman?” I would LOVE to read it.
December 9th, 2022
I made a formal request in the forum for this author’s memoir “Becoming Superman” but I don’t have high hopes because I wasn’t the first to request it.
If anyone has a link to an epub or pdf, etc., I don’t care which format, I just want to read it.
Many thanks!
