Filmmaker and author of “THE SPOILS,” Colin Thompson, breaks down the hard work that follows the hard work of writing your first book.

Whether it is a novel or a business book, anyone who has put in the enormous amount of time it takes to get to type the words “the end” faces the same question: now what?
Entrepreneur sat down with first-time novelist Colin Thompson to get his take on the work that needs to get done just when you think the hard work is over. Thompson wrote and directed three feature films — Loser’s Crown, It’s Us and Light Years — before writing his debut, THE SPOILS, a very funny, dark, and twisted story about a guy struggling to find success and happiness as a Hollywood screenwriter. At every turn, the main character deals with the kinds of self-loathing and bad decision-making that anyone on a quest to do something great experiences, and in the end…well, we won’t spoil THE SPOILS. Just know that things end in a way that is just as much of a surprise to the reader as they are to the main character.
