About Screenwriter Simon J. Michael


I'm 31 years old and I've been writing screenplays for over 5 years. It took me a lot of time and effort to learn how to write a screenplay. There's a lot of great information out there and a lot of it is free. The problem I found was that it is scattered. I'd find a bit here and bit there but never found one resource that nailed down how to write a screenplay in a clear and concise manner.

As I was organizing my research to make it easier to write screenplays I realized there were probably other screenwriters out there who were also struggling to get a cohesive picture of it, so I decided I would compile my research and experience and write a book on how to write a screenplay.

At first I thought of charging people $19.95 for it since it took me so long to put together, but then I decided against it. The most important thing to me is to share the information with those who want it. So I hope you find my free E-book: How to Write a Screenplay useful. If you do and want to make a donation you may for as little as $1.

If you have any questions about my book please email me and feel free to check out my reasonably priced consultation services and tutorials. I have pledged to donate 10% of all my online earnings to modestneeds.org.

If you're interested in donating to them check out their website. There are two other websites I try to visit daily because when you click on their donate buttons it donates a small portion towards the cause. Because the revenue is generated from sponsors it doesn't cost you anything to click - and you can click every day to make a contribution. And no these are not scams I've been donating through my "free click" for over 5 years.

These are the sites:

Also if you or someone you know is interested in producing some well-written scripts email me and I'll send you a list of my loglines and synopses. I have five thrillers, one romantic comedy, one sci-fi trilogy, and one children's story.

Thanks for your interest.

Sincerely,

Simon J. Michael
