In The Writer's Path, 25 alumni of Full Sail University's writing programs share their paths from graduation to success in their own words, without skipping over the adversity that stood in the way of their goals. In these pages you'll read firsthand accounts of what it takes to break into myriad writing industries from award-winning screenwriters, novelists, game writers, comic book writers, content writers, editors, copywriters, journalists, and more.

Packed with inspiration and motivation, The Writer's Path proves that everyone's journey to success is different ... and seldom easy.
