Page "J. Michael Straczynski" Paragraph 7

According to the jacket bio for the first edition of his scriptwriting text ( see Print below ), Straczynski had a play produced when he was 17, a sitcom produced when he was 21, and sold his first movie script when he was 24.

( It should be noted, however, that these first two credits were for volunteer public radio, and not professional script sales.

) By 28, his credits included television and film scripts, radio scripts for Alien Worlds and the Mutual Broadcasting System, a dozen plays, and more than 150 newspaper and magazine articles.

He taught his craft for years at lectures and seminars in California and elsewhere.
