John David Higham

I’m John David.

I wrote Pebbles on the Path, A Guide to Meditation and Visions in addition to my memoir, Unsolicited Submissions. Excerpts from this latter work have also appeared in the literary journal Full Circle alongside such writers as former poet laureate Robert Pinsky. I’ve also written, directed, and produced shorts of my original comedy series Jesus and Spot in addition to having completed numerous unproduced original feature-length screenplays and adaptations.

I completed an erotic novella manuscript and, separately, a book of poetry. Currently, I’m writing a book about suicide recovery based on my own experiences (43 years suicide free—YES!).

I move through the waking world in the humble disguise of a psychologist and a Reiki Master.. I recently retired from the former and spend my time writing.

I’ve had two feature film projects die in pre-production (a psychological thriller feature and a dramatic adaptation feature of my memoir). I’m currently endeavoring to resuscitate the former. I’ve also penned a dark sitcom pilot and an animated sitcom.

I’m currently seeking a director for my psychological thriller. As of March 2023, I will be attending the MFAW (Creative Writing) Program at Goddard College.
