Paul Guyot was born in a small desert town to a blue collar father and Ten High drinking mother. He found escape from his *unsatisfying* childhood in stories. Reading and writing them. Creating worlds and characters that were better than his reality. Or at least different. After a less than spectacular high school experience - when the administration and his own parents told him he would not be allowed to graduate nor attend college if he didn't admit to some crimes he did not commit, Paul said, "Then I won't go to Columbia University, I'll go to Columbia Pictures." Paul became a working professional screenwriter, writing and producing such shows as FELICITY, JUDGING AMY, LEVERAGE, THE LIBRARIANS, NCIS-NEW ORLEANS, and others. He co-wrote the non-blockbuster GEOSTORM, starring Andy Garcia & Gerard Butler. If you spent money to see it, contact Paul and he will refund you. After seeing thousands of people destroy their chances at a screenwriting career because of the awful advice in all the How-To books, Paul wrote KILL THE DOG: The First Book on Screenwriting to Tell You the Truth. Unlike any screenwriting book to come before, Kill the Dog not only reveals the truth about a professional screenwriting career, but exposes the lies of the other books, and provides a few life lessons along the way. Paul has been putting "Screenwriter" on his tax returns every year since 1999, and is still an in demand television and feature writer.
