Richard BeynonRichard Beynon is a storyteller whose career was launched when, at the age of seven, he contracted polio and struck a bargain with his hospital wardmates: they would strap his brace onto his leg - and he would tell them stories.Since then, he has spet his life telling stories in countless forms - as a journalist, and writing for both the page and the screen. He has written over 1,200 scripts for drama and comedy, led dozens of writers' rooms, and served as head writer on some of South Africa's most popular soaps.In 2006, he co-founded All About Writing with novelist Jo-Anne Richards. Together with their partner, Trish Urquhart, they have helped thousands of writers take their stories seriously - many of whom have gone on to publish award-winning work.For fifteen years, he lived for months each year on his narrowboat, Patience, navigating the rivers and canals of England and Wales. From that watery vantage, he wrote more than 500 motivational essays about writing and life.Now based on a houseboat on the River Great Ouse in Bedford, UK, he continues to write his Monday Writing Motivations-delivered fresh every Monday. www.richardbeynonbooks.com Read More Read Less
