The Write Stuff on the History Channel
(This comes from an Indian news release, so I don't know if it applies domestically or not)
History Channel traces the life of writers in 'The Write Stuff'
How did Salman Rushdie live through the fatwa? Did Mario Puzo work for the mob? Why was Jeffery Archer forced to resign his seat in parliament? This September join The History Channel as we trace the lives of prominent authors in The Write Stuff every Saturday night at 10 pm, even as they continue to fascinate and mesmerise generations of readers.
The 9-part-series features renowned writers like Salman Rushdie, Jeffrey Archer, William Shakespeare, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, Sidney Sheldon, Mario Puzo, Mark Twain and H.G. Wells whose writings enjoy worldwide recognition and continue to dominate bestseller lists across the globe. Each episode will reveal the trials and tribulations of these writers on their journey to literary success.
"From classic literature to pot-boilers, these authors have always enjoyed universal appeal but how many of us know the real people behind these books? In The Write Stuff, we share the personal experiences which shaped the lives and works of these celebrated and influential writers," said Dilshad Master, Senior Vice President, Content and Communication, The History Channel.
The series will allow viewers to understand the men and the inspirations behind their writings - >From Mario Puzo's mother's influence in the etching of Don Corleone's character, to the social prophecies which HG Wells became popular for and the 161 books which he wrote beside The War of the Worlds, to whether the fatwa influenced Rushdie's future novels.
