ABOUT
I'm Grayson Taylor, an author and filmmaker, here to help you on your creative journey by sharing what I've learned-and what I'm still learning-about storytelling. After writing my first full-length novel when I was seven, I've authored more than a dozen action-adventure, sci-fi, mystery, and dystopian books. I've also written and directed several short films, composed music, and acted onstage, on TV, and in films.
You'll find writing advice, publishing tips, and behind-the-scenes videos on my channel.
You can find my books, films, music, and more at graysontaylor.info.

Very high level of quality for such a small channel, looking forward to your growth
“Endless revisions”
😅 Yeah. Wouldn’t that be an awful situation that I certainly haven’t been caught in for years trying to write 4 books at once. Nope. Couldn’t be me 😅
You should look for author Stacy James Meadows. Anyway interesting and informative video. 👍
Thanks for doing this video. 😎
thanks for sharing!!
I wanna go to London one day and recreate the Parks and Rec scene that goes:
"I can't believe we're at Hogwarts!"
"No that's Buckingham Palace. Hogwarts is fictional, do you know that? It's important to me that you know that."
and then the iconic Ron Swanson scenes:
*takes a picture of Big Ben*
"Look, a clock. We don't have that in America."
*sees a postcard of "London at Night"* (just a black image)
"That's very funny. Excuse me, I'd like to buy this."
"We don't accept American currency here, sir."
"Course you do that's the greatest piece of paper in the world"
"Very sorry, sir"
"Fine, enjoy the fact that your royal overlords are an old woman and a tiny baby" (at the time it was filmed lol)
Could you please tell us the books that you red as a kid that made you start writing ?
Is it possible for someone to become an author without any professional knowledge of writing???
Because I'm not a literature student or anything but pursuing computer degree. But i love reading and currently strated writing a story.... But it's really tough. Sometimes i think it's something that's possible only by professionals... Is my thinking true??
Study how the books you enjoy are put together: the sentences, chapters, sequences, acts, and the whole story...
Then try it yourself.
Rinse and repeat.
(... Your first attempts will fail. Of course. Were your first lines of code a full working application? Nah. )
It's totally possible in my opinion. I never formally studied writing or literature in college, which is true for many other authors too. I work in a field that is unrelated to writing, but I have been writing for over fifteen years and I'm planning to publish soon. If you practice enough and take time to study the elements of the stories you love, your writing will improve over time. Plus, you can check out books on writing to speed up your learning process. If writing that story is something you really want to do, you can do it. Keep going! :)
@@AJEhrhardt thank you so much....
@@PaulRWorthington makes sense..
One of my favorite books ever "The outsiders" by S. E. Hinton was published when the author was still in high school and, obviously, didn't have any professional knowledge of writing. It didn't stop her book from being meaningful to me. Currently there is so much free knowledge about the craft of writing online, that I'd even say the only thing you will lose from not going to literature college is feedback from professors (which can be replaced by feedback from other people like beta readers, friends, online communities). Personally, I think the most important thing for writers is not writing education but life experience to write about and strong desire to do so. (Also I agree with the comments above).
