But How Can I Get MORE Rhonda?

All of our PR-BTR shows are hosted by our own much loved Rhonda R Carpenter. Catch Rhonda as a GUEST on October 22 at 5:00 pm PST/8pm EST as a panelist on Cyrus Webb’s Conversations Live. You may recognize Cyrus Webb from his recent Literacy Campaign as well as his upcoming The Write Stuff television series.

America’s first literary reality show, The Write Stuff, will debut online at www.thewritestufftv.com on Saturday, October 17th. It is an integral part of Cyrus Webb’s Literacy Campaign. Podioracket.com’s Rhonda R Carpenter interviewed Cyrus Webb on our BTR-Extension back in June when we heard about it from Podiobooks.com authors Mark Eller and Arlene Radasky. Scott Sigler is slated to judge in the finale.

Part conversation and part competition, The Write Stuff gives advice and encouragement from those who have made it in the literary world and showcases how others can do the same. Webb is quick to point out that even though the premise of the show is about writing that anyone following a dream or interested in excelling in their business will get something from it.

During the middle of the season you will meet aspiring writers who will be competing for prizes provided by the project’s sponsors and the title of having The Write Stuff.

There are several videos about the project:

The online edition of The Write Stuff debuts Sat. Oct. 17, 2009 (You might have to cut and paste into your browser),
