My curated list of books and equipment should help get you started with filmmaking in general, and screenwriting especially.
If you haven't already, please subscribe to the Creative Writing Career Podcast. I created this podcast with Justin Sloan and Kevin Tumlinson as a way to share advice for aspiring, new and mid-career writers. We bring on a lot of cool guests, and I think you'll get a lot out of it. Due to other work I'm no longer on every show, but it's still great even when I'm not able to cohost.
The two most recent Creative Writing Career Podcasts deal with storytelling in video games. One is a discussion between myself, Justin and Kevin:
Storytelling in Video Games hosts discussion
And the other is a discussion with a former colleague of Justin and myself, Matt Ritter:
Storytelling in Video Games Matt Ritter discussion
With two hosts and many friends that have experience as video game writers, this is likely a topic we'll come back to often (in fact, we already have a discussion about the field with the great Christian Cantamessa "in the can" awaiting release).
If you have any specific questions about a career in Video Games, or any other writing career topic, please use the Contact Form to ask me and we'll see if we can get to it on the show.
