Joseph Dougherty on The Influence of Rod Serling

TVC 591.1: We’ll bring you Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and director Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Judging Amy, Pretty Little Liars). Topics this segment include Joe’s award-winning stage play Chester Bailey, and how the works of Rod Serling, Herb Gardner, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ray Bradbury both influenced and inspired Joe to become a writer. 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. A new production of Chester Bailey opens Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City and continues through Sunday, Nov. 6.
