I’m James Hurst, a professional screenwriter with over 25 years in the industry. I’ve written for award-winning shows like Wynonna Earp, Hardy Boys, Being Erica, Flashpoint, and The Listener.
Here’s what I’ve learned: structure matters, but character is everything. If we don’t care about your hero - flaws, wounds, contradictions and all -nothing else lands.
That’s why I created The 5 Layers of Compelling Character- to share the exact framework I use (and teach) to help writers build rich, dimensional characters that drive the story forward and keep readers hooked.

Why am I the one to write it? How to make it pop? James knows.
