About Norman

I am a qualified published writer with over twenty years experience in writing and publishing in Africa.

I have published fiction and non fiction, as well as Science Fiction short stories.

I started writing screenplays several years ago and studied several top courses and have read more than two hundred screenplays. My first success came with my screenplay "Lucifer's Hero" which has been optioned twice and is currently owned by South African producer Fiona Brauns, who is currently raising money to make the movie.

I have been hired as a writer to pen the screenplay "Karma" by Misfits in Dubai https://www.misfits.ae/ (Currently in development)
I have also been hired to work on an original screenplay idea by Thomas Manning from Epic Light Media in Arizona. Codename "Duke Wilder."

I currently have two original screenplays completed with a third in second draft phase. Both my scripts, Crimson Jungle and Final Dawn received "recommend" ratings on WeScreenplay.

Unique traits: Marketing is my day job and I'm pretty damn good at it
