Linda M James has had a roller-coaster life as a model, a singer and an English lecturer. She gave up her lecturing job twelve years ago to write and since that time, she's had novels, short stories and poetry published. She has also written many screenplays; three of which have been optioned. In 2008, she was commissioned to write "YOUNG IVANHOE", "YOUNG HELEN OF TROY" and "JESUS CHRIST: THE MISSING YEARS".
Her book "HOW TO WRITE GREAT SCREENPLAYS" was published in 2009 and in October, 2011, she's running a screenwriting course on the beautiful Greek island of Paxos. Do join her there for a great week full of writing, exploring, swimming and having fun! Here is a link to her course.
