Love What You Write, Write What You Love: an interview with screenwriter and novelist Matt Witten
Show Notes

In today's episode I get the privilege to sit down and talk with screenwriter, novelist, (and playwright!) Matt Witten. He's had an Emmy nomination for his work on the  TV-show "House" starring the brilliant Hugh Laurie, and has many television credits to his name.

Our conversation covers topics like what it's like to write for television and how that differs from writing a novel, we discuss his newest book Killer Story, and he offers up some wonderful writing tips and encourages us to never hesitate to write what you love!
