SCRIPTSCENE/RWA PRESIDENT
JAMIE DIERKS

Originally from California, Jamie has lived in Iowa 14 years. She owns a restaurant and jewelry design business with her husband. She began writing about 10 years ago and held a position as contributing writer for Crafts Business Magazine for two years.


During that time she wrote monthly feature articles for the magazine. Then she decided that getting paid to write was too easy, and took up the craft of writing fiction. So now instead of getting $1 per word for 1500 words, she gets paid nothing for 80,000 words, or 110 script pages, but hopes it will someday include a paycheck.

Jamie, along with two other screenwriters, and a Hollywood development executive, started the weekly Twitter Chat called Script Chat. She is currently polishing a drama she plans to enter for the Nicholl Fellowships, and putting the finishing touches on a romance script.
