I love writing! It's what I do. If I were stuck on a deserted island, I would still pen stories in the sand knowing the waves would wash them away. I thank Spielberg, Zemeckis, and Lucas for that love...
After nearly a decade as a critically acclaimed indie novelist, with 15 published books, I switched gears into screenwriting in January 2021. Since then, I've studied with a mentor, taken courses monthly, and have had my work selected and awarded at several screenwriting festivals. My first feature film, a romantic comedy titled Just Jake, was sold and produced by True Brand Entertainment with distribution in 2023 via UpTV Faith & Family Network. I retained and sold the book adaptation rights to Vinspire Publishing, released in 2023. My TV and feature scripts are optioned with shopping agreements, in development, or available!
I write stories with a magic touch in books, streaming, film, and comics across multiple genres. See website link in bio for more. My stories are high-concept, character-driven tales set in depth-less worlds for audiences to fall into and never want to leave. I am available for PAID writing on spec, script-doctoring or consulting, and I'm available for development. Don't hesitate to reach out for samples at JaimieEngle.com/projects
*I own the IP of all my books, comics, and short story collections JaimieEngle.com/books.
