 John Jarvis, fiction guru, is a
professional screenwriter and member of the WGA, with editions of the
syndicated television dramas "Family Medical Center"
and "Behind the Secret Door" to his credit.
He is also the inventor of the well-known approach to writing fiction,
which has come to be called "The Jarvis Method",
made internationally popular in the StoryCraft line
of story-development software, which incorporates his Method.
Before
going to
Hollywood, Mr. Jarvis, who holds a Masters in Fine Arts from Old
Dominion University and is an expert in Jungian philosophy and
Wagnerian opera as well as classical and mythological fiction, was for
nearly 30 years production manager for Public TV in Hampton Roads and a
pioneer in radio-drama production in the Southeast.
In
Hollywood he, among other things, free-lanced for Ralph Edwards-Stu
Billiett, producers of "The Family Medical Center" and "The People's
Court."
Over
the years, he
has introduced literally thousands of students to his Method and
created a legion of talented and successful followers. He lectures
frequently and teaches the highly acclaimed "New Dimensions
In Writing" series on the writing of fiction.
A
co-founder, with Irwin Berent,, of the prestigious Story
and Myth: The Online Journal of Classic Story Writing, and
for many years the structure columnist for Screenwrite NOW!,
the predecessor to Scr(i)pt Magazine, Mr. Jarvis
writes extensively on all subjects pertinent to fiction.
