Write Above the Noise

"""... a fantastically practical pillar of light through the desert of writing, but, more importantly, it's a spiritual call to arms..."" -Houston Howard, author, You're Gonna Need a Bigger Story ""This is the reference every writer needs who has a story to share but needs the principles and techniques that will change people's lives. I've been writing for more than four decades, and Laura is the first person I call any time I have a question. Simply put - this book needs to be on every writer's desk."" -Phil Cooke, Ph.D. Media Producer, Cofounder of Cooke Media Group, Los Angeles; Author, Ideas on a Deadline-How To Be Creative When the Clock is Ticking ""Laura has found the secret to exceptional writing: rely on the God of All Creativity who lives inside every Christ-follower. Her provocative questions and on-target suggestions will guide you to successfully communicate what the Spirit whispers in your heart.""  -Norman C. Mintle, Ph.D. Film Producer, Blogger, Professor at ORU University ""Writing is easy; being a writer is hard. But here, Laura Woodworth breaks down the process by offering a cheerfully practical and realistic approach to writing as a craft and as an act of worship. With her own encouraging style, she examines the necessary motivations, skills, and disciplines that will help a person navigate the obstacles to starting and finishing that book, screenplay, or other work that's been sitting there, waiting to be realized. From the blank page to the finished manuscript, the writer with Christian concerns would do well to draw from the insights found here. -Shun Lee Fong Filmmaker; Creative Director of The Greenhouse Arts & Media, Los Angeles; Author, The Saints & the Poets ""I've watched 'wannabes' come into the Hollywood entertainment industry who never seem to get it. They haven't developed the essentials or learned the fundamental steps needed to sustain a long and successful career. Laura's book is your new writing manual, and one you will want to keep on your desk and refer to again and again."" -Kathleen Cooke Media Executive, Co-founder, Cooke Media Group/Influence Women; Author, Hope 4 Today: Stay Connected to God in a Distracted Culture ""With deep wisdom and practical tools, Laura Woodworth guides writers to fulfill their God-given dreams. Her powerful encouragement and insights will resonate in the lives of those called to share messages with eternal meaning."" -Tina Yeager Author, Speaker, Life Coach, Host of Flourish-Meant Podcast ""What impresses me most about Laura is she doesn't hide her light under a bushel, nor bury her talents. She is willing to share her expertise and insights with anyone who is interested in sharing their gifts with the world."" -David Henriksen President & CEO of the Giving Company ""Laura Woodworth's advice while writing my first book was immeasurable. Her feedback and encouragement propelled me from struggling writer to published author."" -Heather O'Brien Author, Don't Let the Monsters Out: An American Airman's Descent into Darkness at Camp Bucca, Iraq and Chains of Freedom: Writings of a Redeemed Soul"
