About Me

Jim Vines
I've been a working screenwriter and script consultant since the early 1990s. My non-fiction book Q & A: The Working Screenwriter (interviews w/ 16 working scribes) became quite popular upon its publication in 2006. In April 2015 I published my debut novel, Luigi's Chinese Delicatessen, which is a rollicking tale about a young man coming to Los Angeles to become--yes, you guessed it--a screenwriter. I currently have two blogs: one for screenwriters and one for indie novelists. I do hope you find them useful. Comments always welcome! All content copyright © by Jim Vines.
