Welcome to our first Storyrocket LIVE!

Last night we debuted Storyrocket LIVE on Facebook, I hope you were able to join us. We had a great conversation on how to get “Traction” for your book or story. Producers are always looking for traction, but there are many ways to get there. Of course, if you’re a New York Times Best Selling author, congratulations! If you’re not, we have tips from a great author and Storyrocket member, Dorah Blume. Hear her inspiring story and learn what she’s doing to get her book noticed and continue to be at the forefront. See the broadcast here!

 

We are so excited to build a community of like-minded writers and producers that want to share their “warrior” tactics so that everyone wins. Like I said last night, we want to help get your story to “Hollywood” in the least painful and least expensive way! And there’s no better way than learning from industry experts and also from members (just like you,) deep in the trenches.

 

 

Our broadcast is also fun, we feature photos from our members from across the globe. Go ahead, send us a picture holding your book, of the place that inspired your writing, your writing group or association, your book signing, or attendance at book fairs and writers workshops. We love to post your picture and give you a shout-out!

 

Also, see Deborah Bluestein (aka Dorah Blume) do a:90 second live pitch. We call this section Ready, Set, PITCH. This is a great way to polish your pitching skills, get exposure, and get positive feedback to keep developing those “Pitching Muscles”.

 

Botticelli’s Muse

Divided loyalties divide absolutely
Submitted by: Dorah Blume (Writer)

 

Synopsis

In the villa of his irritating new patron, Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli feels his creative well run dry—until he accidentally discovers Floriana, a Jewish weaver imprisoned in his sister’s convent. Events threaten to keep his unlikely muse out of reach, and so begins a tale of one of the art world’s most beloved paintings, La Primavera, as Sandro, a confirmed bachelor, and Floriana, a headstrong artist in her own right, enter into a turbulent relationship.

 

As a passionate advocate of helping writers take their stories to screen I understand the ups and downs of this journey. That’s is why support is so important and why we are excited about Storyrocket LIVE. You are not alone, you are part of a community of like-minded people that supports you with great interviews, expert advice, tips, insights, exposure, tons of encouragement, and love. We call this last one Storyrocket LOVE. If you joined us last night you saw this at the end of the video, but I’m sure you felt it through-out the broadcast.

A huge debt of gratitude to our fabulous co-host and internationally awarded author Danielle Vann. Couldn’t have done it without you! A big thank you to our behind the scenes Storyrocket team, Ron Karasz, Vladimir Rodriguez, Bianca Vucetich, and all our programmers. Thank you for making it look easy!

One last note of gratitude to everyone watching and for your encouraging comments last night. Don’t be shy, send me your pictures, your comments, what topics you want to see, or a note letting me know you are ready to Pitch to general@storyrocket.com.
