About Justin
I'm a playwright/TV writer with over thirty years experience.
My first play was mounted in Los Angeles in 1987 and since then I've written 22 produced plays that have had productions in LA, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Charlotte N.C.
I wrote for "My So Called Life" and was story editor on "Gilmore Girls"; I was under contract in comedy development at Universal for three years; and have written and directed 88 episodes of a web series (cult-favorite "Ave 43" available on YouTube). My consulting business "Justin's Notes" has successfully guided dozens of clients to finish their manuscripts.
Here are some testimonials from students and clients of mine:
