Charlie's Bio
Charlie at 13
Charlie grew up in Baltimore with two brothers, two parents and one dog.
At an early age he became obsessed with movies, and began transcribing them off of the television with his cassette recorder so that he could study the scripts. His obsession with story, character, and dialogue brought him to NYU School of the Arts, where he got his BFA in Film and Television. He now works as a novelist, film and television writer, and writing coach in Los Angeles where he lives with one wife, one and a half sons (the other half attends college in New York) and one dog.
Over the years Charlie has written for Touchstone, New Line, Interscope, Disney, Fox, Klasky-Csupo and others, taught English Composition as well as ESL, guest lectured at the USC School Of Cinematic Arts writing program and, for the past three years, has been the co-coordinator of the Society Of Children’s Book Writer’s And Illustrators "Westside Schmooze".
His interests include writing, talking about writing, teaching writing, and reading other peoples writing. And riding his mountain bike.
...he gets good ideas for writing up there.
