Brett Nicholson is a native Houstonian who has been writing since he was first old enough to hold a jumbo crayon. Since then he’s written scripts that have been a Nicholl Finalist (QUEEN OF THE SKY), three times selected for The Grey List, and written many others that have scored quarter and semi final status.

He’s been optioned twice, hired to develop IP from several producers, and even acted as co-lead in a short (THE BOX) written for a director pal. Brett’s writing usually tends toward goofy humor, and often involves tales of oddball heroes besting the forces of dullness and normality. Some people claim that Brett dabbles in sarcasm, but these are just foul rumors.

And yes he still loves jumbo crayons. They make a tasty snack.
