This week on Fully Booked, returning guest Jennifer Lieberman joins us for a fascinating conversation about playwriting, theater production, and what authors can learn from writing for the stage. From the differences between novels, screenplays, and plays to the realities of development readings, audience feedback, and workshop productions, Jennifer breaks down why theater remains one of the most collaborative and demanding storytelling mediums there is.

Whether you're writing something from scratch or adapting an existing story for the stage, building a playwriting career is often a long game rather than a path to overnight success. Jennifer shares hard-earned insight into what it really takes to bring an idea from concept to performance, drawing on her experiences in stand-up comedy, television development, and Broadway workshops. Whether you're a novelist, playwright, or screenwriter, this discussion is packed with lessons about persistence, audience connection, creative evolution, and the courage to keep creating before anyone else believes in the vision.
