Introduce Yourself : Storyteller: screenwriter, novelist, playwright by Bart Baker

Bart Baker

Storyteller: screenwriter, novelist, playwright

Hey all. I love doing these because I've made contact with some other interesting creative people, and they are my favorite people! I'm a storyteller and have made a living writing for four decades and still doing it. I've had five novels published, two will come out in 2022 (and hopefully so will the graphic novel I co-created that's in the artist's hands...not sure how long that takes). The movie rights to my novel, HONEYMOON WITH HARRY, were bought by New Line Cinema. I've had multiple productions of multiple plays produced around the world. The movie rights to my play, RELAY, were bought by Warner Bros. I've made the bulk of my living writing for the screen, with 11 movies for television, two features and episodes of four series produced (and plenty more projects bought or optioned by studios or production companies that died on the vine, and even more spec scripts I've written that never went anywhere...) Writing is my joy. I love what I do and have been blessed to make a living doing it for most of my life.
