The Secret Engine of Hollywood

Written by Joshua Shelov | March 15, 2023

Hey friends! Episode 3 of the Written Out Loud podcast is up! It's about the secret language of Hollywood, which shockingly I found to be neither money- nor IP-obsessed, but in fact deeply useful and in fact, profoundly generous. There's a reason Hollywood has been around for as long as it has, and grabbed hold of all of our dreams. This episode distills that reason down to what I believe to be its essence.

By the way, if you haven't yet listened to episodes 1 and 2, this episode is probably best experienced sequentially, i.e. the stories in these first few episodes really do build on each other. I'm linking to all three episodes below. Enjoy, and thanks for listening.

P.S. Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to register for our spring programs, which include our Young AND Adult Novelist's programs. If you or your child want to finish and publish a book this year, these programs will give you the three things you need most: a mentor, a structure, and a team. Register here.
