ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week we dive into the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship with 2020 Fellow James Acker. Winning with his piece SadBoi, James tells us the process of applying and finding out he placed.
James Acker -
James Acker grew up in New Jersey and he’s based his entire personality off that fact. He received his Bachelor’s in Screenwriting & Playwriting from Drexel University, an engineering school, and uses it in the following ways. While his writing has yet to be published, he did get a joke into Nickelodeon Magazine back in ‘03. A 2020 Nicholl Fellow for his script SADBOI, James is excited to continue writing YA stories with confident queer voices. Like a bisexual John Hughes. When he’s not writing, James lives in LA with his supportive partner and their two recurring stress dreams.
