About this listen

Ever wonder how a gritty little shark novel turned into one of the most iconic thrillers, and literally invented the summer blockbuster? In this episode, Courtney (paranormal mystery author & certified story nerd) breaks down Jaws: from Peter Benchley’s dark, cynical book to Steven Spielberg’s suspense-soaked film that made us all side-eye the ocean.

Grab your life vest, because we’re diving deep into how technical failures, character tweaks, and a few brilliant creative choices made Jaws swim where it could’ve sunk. Plus, stick around for some killer writing takeaways you can use, no matter what you’re crafting.
