THE SCHOOL OF JOYFUL WRITING
A podcast writing workshop beginning 1/15/23 at THE WRITER SHED podcast.
THE SCHOOL OF JOYFUL WRITING with David W; Berner is free and not-your-typical workshop. We’ll talk about why you write and how that fits into your goals. What should be the first steps in creating a writing practice? Finding out what it is you really want to write? And how to commit to a creative life going forward so you can meet your writing goals.
I’ve been teaching writing and storytelling for over 25 years in higher education at hundreds of workshops. I am the author of several books on memoir and fiction, and my writing has won a number of awards. I’ve also been honored as the Writer-in-Residence at both the Jack Kerouac Project in Orlando and the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Home and Museum in Oak Park, Illinois.

NIGHT RADIO: A Love Story by David W. Berner.
The top-reviewed novel’s re-release..
Jake Mulholland dreams of becoming the next great rock ‘n’ roll radio personality. But like his father, his appetite for love conflicts with his thirst for success, leading to an unforgivable mistake. Jake finds fame but also the excess of celebrity, and just as he begins to rediscover his authentic self, he’s shaken by the news of a life-altering secret. In an effort for redemption, Jake plans a special New Year’s Eve broadcast that will be the biggest challenge of his life.
Night Radio is a love letter to music and rock ‘n’ roll radio of the 1970s, the story of an American boy and an American family, and of dreams just out of our reach.
Now Available!
