Who’s that mumbling screenwriter on NPR?

Barring some sort of Actual News Event, I’ll be one of the guests on Airtalk this Tuesday, July 11th at 11:30 a.m. (At least, that’s the time for Los Angeles listeners.)

Host Judy Muller will be talking with Chris Brancato and me about the book Doing It for Money: The Agony and Ecstasy of Writing and Surviving in Hollywood, in which I have an essay. (And which I recently blogged about.) The book’s editor, Daryl G. Nickens, will also be on hand.

So, tune in and witness how inarticulate I am when I don’t have a keyboard in front of me.

    I know I may sound like a real dullard here, but what channel is NPR for the LA area?

  2. John August

    NPR = National Public Radio, which in LA is KCRW, 89.9.

  3. Mystery Man

    Loved the essay (and I will most certainly buy the book). It made me think of that quote by Will Shakespeare and I had to look it up: “I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and safety.” (King Henry V. Act iii. Sc. 2.)

    Okay, but would you happen to know where I can pick it up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania?

For photos, blurbs and uncomfortable self-promotion, you can check out his Facebook fan page.
