Screenwriting Tales from My Life in Hollywood

My Artist-on-Artist Conversations with Celebrated Screenwriters

After fifteen years as a professional film and TV screenwriter, I’ve started talking with old and new friends about who they are and how their personal stories inform the screenplays they write — Earlier this year, I turned to Medium and, more recently, Substack as ways to both discuss the arts and explore my own passion for them.

Q&A: Writer Ed Brubaker on Making Crime Pay and Protecting Your Voice in Comic Books and Hollywood (Part 2)

After twenty years as a bestselling and award-winning comic book creator, the writer discovered he still had a lot to learn…from TV writers’ rooms, of all places — I can’t imagine there are many people in the world who would argue with the assertion that Ed Brubaker is one of the greatest comic book writers of all time.

From real life crime to crime writing — and, of course, superheroes — the comic book titan turned TV creator discusses his creative journey — When Ed Brubaker’s name showed up in the comments section of my Substack, the art junky in me screamed.
