A Good Story Is A Good Story

I am the new assistant on A GOOD STORY IS A GOOD STORY at Blog Talk Radio. I will be working the phone lines, chat room, and popping in with questions throughout the show. Below is a bit more about the show.

Each Monday at 8pm Central, join host Marsha Cook, her two co-Hosts April Robins and Freda Roberts, and show assistant Virginia S. Grenier.

A little about the hosts of the show: Marsha Cook is a screenwriter, novelist and the President of Marcus Bryan & Associates and Michigan Avenue Media.

April Robins is the CEO of Robin Falls, the creator of a wonderfully talented network of writers as well as a children's author.

Freda Roberts is a talented writer and the creator of the Literary Lounge on Facebook.

Virginia S. Grenier is the Founder/Owner of Stories for Children Publishing LLC, a freelance editor, and children’s author.

All four of these women, especially Freda, have learned how to be successful in the social network community. Marsha has been the host since the show began, but she has added April Robins and Freda Roberts has her co-Hosts, along with Virginia S. Grenier as their show assistant.

A GOOD STORY IS A GOOD STORY now has a new time (Monday 8pm Central), which will allow listeners to hear the show live instead of on demand, however, on demand will be available when the show is over. Our guests will be entertainers, novelists, screenwriters, directors, producers, publishers, and publicists. There will be a special male guest co-Host every week.

Join us this Monday July 12, 2010 at 8pm Central and meet Craig Clyde. He’s a screenwriter, novelist, and Movie Director. Craig has directed over eighteen films and he will be discussing his new film ROOTBEER CHRISTMAS.

The chat lines will be open and we welcome callers.

It’s time to talk entertainment. Forget the stress and join Marsha, April, Freda and Virginia every Monday night at 8pm Central. You will be glad you did!

The Comeback of 2D Animation: Why We’re Craving Realness Again

There’s something happening in animation right now that’s worth paying attention to—not because it’s simply nostalgic, but because it’s deeply human. As someone who works in the mental health and creative storytelling space, I can’t help but see these conversations about art, AI, and hand-drawn storytelling as part of a bigger theme: our collective hunger for authenticity. We live in a time where AI-generated content is everywhere—convenient, efficient, and often soulless. It’s not surprising that artists and audiences alike are looking back toward something that feels more tactile, more imperfect, more human. That brings us to 2D animation, an art form that has shaped generations and now, it seems, might just be making a comeback. Here’s what Language of the Soul podcast host, Dominick Domingo, had to say on this trend: There’s been a lot of industry talk lately speculating about 2D/traditional ANIMATION making a comeback. Recent articles confirm that although Disney has not greenlit...

Five Tips for a More Marketable Children’s Picture Book Manuscript by Mayra Calvani

The world of children’s picture book publishing is extremely competitive. If you’re an aspiring children’s author, you need to make sure your manuscript is in excellent shape and has all the elements editors and agents look for before you begin the submission process. Here are five tips to make your picture book manuscript more marketable: Start right with the problem.  Many times beginner writers begin a picture book with back-story. It’s okay to have this back-story in the first draft, but be sure to get rid of it when you edit. Back-story is unnecessary 90% of the time and it only serves to slow down the beginning of a story, making it weaker. You want to grab the reader right from the start. So don’t be afraid to begin your story at the heart of the problem. It’s okay to set the stage with a sentence or two—but no more! Have a protagonist readers can relate to.
