Hi, I’m James Welday. I’m the youngest of three from suburban Rancho Cucamonga, California. Raised on the films of Steven Spielberg and Billy Wilder, I developed a deep respect for history and a love for storytelling early on. I started writing at 14 and learned the craft mostly through self-taught work, earning a degree from The Los Angeles Film School. Since then I’ve poured that passion into feature screenplays and teleplays, entering competitions such as the NBC TV Writers Program and the ISA Diversity Initiative. Now based in Lakewood, California, I work as a screenwriter and freelance script consultant, always chasing fresh stories and new ways to bring them to life.
