I am not only a decade-long professional WGA Hollywood screenwriter, but I have served as a film school program director and taught screenwriting at the MFA-level for over six years (including online), and am a published author on the subject.
My book on screenwriting, Prewriting Your Screenplay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Generating Stories, has been published by Routledge, America’s #1 textbook publisher. This book focuses on the work that goes into preparation before writing a script. A slew impressive endorsements from top WGA screenwriters and academic screenwriting and film program educators can be read on the BOOK page of my website.
