TVC 590.2: Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and director Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Saving Grace, Pretty Little Liars, Chester Bailey) talks to Ed about the importance of curiosity and specificity when writing (regardless of which form of writing one practices) and why the difference between writing and directing often comes down to verbs.

Joe's new book, A Screenwriter's Companion: Instruction, Opinion, Encouragement offers insights and advice, both practical and nonpractical, to writers and would-be writers about the writing process, how to survive in "the business," and reflections on the influences that led Joe to a successful career. A Screenwriter's Companion is available now through Amazon.com as well as your local bookseller; a select number of autographed editions are available through Fayetteville Mafia Press.
