Writing – Jerry Schellhammer

Selling My Brand

My Writers’ Guild coordinator emailed me the other day about something I had done last month for our last meet up.

A New Week

I missed that magazine; Newsweek back when it was a shiny magazine I could pull off any magazine rack at any grocery or book store. Now Newsweek as well as many of those bookstores are figments of our collective memories.

My Writing Projects

Last night I just finished my first draft of Luke Warm. It’s about teenaged girls being abducted and the protagonist, in this case Luke Warm, an investigative TV reporter who exposes them from local, regional, and finally internationally.
