About Jared Kauffman

My PERSONAL WRITING GOAL is to create an iconic character that resonates with the world (like a Darth Vader, Indiana Jones, etc) I also want to give back to the creative writing industry. I believe in helping every creative writer improve their writing skill set through practice, insight, and networking so they can create a sustainable hobby or career that generates income. I plan on redefining what it means to be a creative writer. MY STORY: Growing up I was a bookworm who loved fantastical worlds, but I also loved to create! Every day, grades 7-12, I sat in the back of the class and worked on my masterpiece. I churned out words upon pages upon drafts, and by the time I graduated (8 notebooks later) I realized. I needed to grow my writers toolkit, so I went and earned a B.A. degree in Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside. There I found a passion for scripts which in turn took me to the land of Hollywood so I could become a professional screenwriter. One internship and many gigs later I found myself striving to get into a writer’s room, but little did I know the marketplace had other plans for me… Over time artists and writers alike, would come up to me asking for advice about their scripts or short stories. They would reach out through the writing groups I managed or over social media. Eventually I was helping screenwriters, novelists, and social media influencers bring their work to life. I had started off trying to claw my way into a writers room, but ended up becoming the ghostwriter that others needed. My goal is to improve the art of creative storytelling, so more stories are crafted with clarity and confidence. I LOVE: Creating stories with emotional resonance. Falling for characters that are relatable and unique. Helping writers improve. one tip at a time.
