Meet This Week's Guest
In today’s encore episode, Deborah Raney shares her top movie techniques to help you do that!
Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mts of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this encore episode, you’ll learn how to write your book with a movie in mind.
My industry expert is Deborah Raney – Deb’s first novel, A Vow to Cherish, was the inspiration for an award-winning film from World Wide Pictures. Deborah teaches at writers’ conferences across the country, including Blue Ridge, and she served on the executive board of the 2500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for almost 18 years. Deb has written more than forty books for imprints of Random House, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and others and is thoroughly enjoying her career as a novelist. However, her first and most cherished calling is wife, mom, and “Mimi.” Native Kansans, Deb and her husband are transplants to Southeast Missouri, where seven of their thirteen grandkids live.
