Autorenporträt
John R. Worsley wants to identify as a screenwriter, but seems to have trouble focusing. He has always loved playing with words. Growing up, he read constantly, engaged in wordplay, and actually enjoyed writing essays in school. In high school he began to see himself as a writer, thanks to a creative writing class and teacher encouragement. In college, he tried to become a geophysicist, but somehow ended up with a job writing press releases and a B.A. in linguistics, after which he stumbled into IT. Even there, he still found himself crafting with words as a technical writer. Along the way, he dabbled with short poetry, flash fiction, short stories, a novelette, a novel, and a non-fiction book on sustainability. Then he fell in love with screenwriting, but still managed to publish a long poem, ghostwrite a memoir, start two graphic novel projects, and take a playwriting class.
