SAT. NOV. 7, 2009: Because of recent tragedies that occurred during the past week, Shadow Play Entertainment and the producers of The Write Stuff decided it was appropriate to push up a special segment it had prepared to run during the holidays called "Faith and Literature."


Creator and host Cyrus Webb was able to assemble four bestselling authors (Jerry Jenkins, Jewell Parker Rhodes, L. A. Banks and Evie Rhodes)who came together for the first time to discuss the role that their personal beliefs played in the work they produced and how they walked the fine line of treating their careers like a business while still being true to who they are.

It is a six-part conversation that you will want to watch and share with anyone who finds themselves struggling with those very issues. This show is dedicated to the memory of Izear Roberts, Jr.---the father of producer Stanley Clark---who passed away unexpectantly this week, those who passed away in the horrible incidents in both Texas and Florida as well as their families. It is our hope that all will find something to encourage themselves as we go through our own challenges in life as well...

Praise For The Write Stuff Continues...

"If you don't know... its because you don't read and It's never too late to learn how to find out what you don't know.

"If the key to finding out what you don't know is reading, then you should also understand that its never too late to learn how to read. I have always been an inquisitive person, even as a child before I could read. I vividly remember growing up badgering my mother with questions and her response would always be 'look it up'. It made me sad then, but I appreciate it now. You can't rely on other peoples knowledge and understanding of things. Everyone interprets differently. Nor can you always expect people to have your best interest at heart, so much that you think they'll always tell you the truth. The key to life, success, happiness, and any question you may have all lie within a book. It's out there, but you must read....Learn to read!"

"In an effort to promote literacy and economic advancement within the communities , as well as our youth, Industry Standard Magazine is a proud supporter of an effort such as the national literacy campaign. It is our responsibility as a media outlet to make a lasting impact when possible, and for that reason we are truly excited and supportive of this campaign." "Huneey", The Lyfestyle Group / Industry Standard Magazine www.industrystandardmag.com





"MrsP.com was created to give kids the experience of having a trusted, skilled storyteller read them classics of literature. Rather than simply presenting an audiobook, Mrs. P recreates the look and feel of “story time”, a magical ritual many kids might not otherwise get to enjoy. The site is free and also offers read-along options for early readers, spelling games and a Magic Dictionary.

"And Mrs. P loves events like National Reading Day that highlight the importance of literacy."
--- Dana Plautz, Mrs P Enterprises, LLC www.MrsP.com






"At this very moment I'm obsessed with writing, so I find myself reading a lot more books to enhance my vocabulary. "Think and Grow Rich!" Great book!! That's what I'm on right now!" --- Fizz of Fizz and Boog www.fizzandboog.com




"Don't think of what you want to do as a dream. Your reality is what you
create it to be. The more you go towards what you believe to be true, the
more people are going to tell you that it's false. Before you believe
them, take a look at what they are doing. The RZA said 'Positive Energy
Activates Constant Elevation' - take each of the first letters from that
and you can see what awaits you." --- Christopher Herz, Canal Publishing www.canalpublishing.com




"There is a serious literacy problem that is not allowing people around the world to reach their full potential and Cyrus A. Webb and The Write Stuff is taking initiative to DO something about that and make a difference in people’s lives. Cyrus’ mission of encouraging, nurturing, listening and advising people about the joys and importance of reading and writing is inspiring. His commitment to encouraging reading and spread its addiction as well as promoting self-expression and enabling people everywhere to be heard -- is what reading and writing is all about. I am honored to join as part of Cyrus’ inspired movement to bring like-minded people together to collaborate and mobilize ‘do-ers’ in the area of literacy and create change around the world. In this way, everyone benefits, problems are solved and change happens." --- Dr. Alice Wilder, Co-Creator of Think It Ink It Publishing/Co-Creator of PBS’s Super Why!/Producer, Director of Research & Development for Blue’s Clues www.thinkitinkitpublishing.com




"Reading is so important because you can learn some important things about the Past, Present and Future of life." -- Recording artist Pleasure Ellis www.pleasureslife.com




"We are lost because of lack of knowledge. Without reading there is no education and we remain lost." --- Earl Hall of The Earl Hall Show www.earlhall.net





"Becoming an efficient reader and writer is like a well-watered seed whose growth is unlimited. Then, too, the possibilities of your life are infinite. The more you read and write, the more knowledge you gain." --- K. D. Brosia, Recording Artist www.kds02.com




"Reading is the gateway to knowledge, adventure, magical worlds and a more enriched life." Author Brian Rathbone www.brianrathbone.com




"I'm participating with The Write Stuff because reading is fundamental. Not only does it educate the listener but the reader as well. To read is to uplift, and that's the job of every being: to uplift fallen humanity." --- Stix, Recording Artist www.myspace.com/wattscity




"You can't paint a picture of success unless you know how to paint! Learn to read and write: it's the blueprint of life!" --- Rasheed Young, Run Athletics www.runathletics.com
