Two guests make a visit to Writers' Voices this week.

First, Sherry Ellis returns to the show to discuss her newest book, "Now Write! Screenwriting: Screenwriting Exercises from Today's Best Writers and Teachers". The book, like previous installments in this series, offers the aspiring screenwriter many exercises and much advice from working movie and television writers and other experts in the business. The book features tips from screenwriters of such films as Raging Bull, Terminator 2, Groundhog Day, "Lost", and many more.

The second half hour will be an interview with Carolyn Moncel, author of "Encounters in Paris". A collection of short stories based around a female middle-aged PR executive living and working in Paris, who through the loss, betrayal, and regrets of life discovers it's how she chooses to deal with life's struggles that shape her soul. This is Carolyn's first book.
