John Cosper’s Summary
I am a script writer with more than 100 scripts published by national publishers including Lillenas, Standard, Youth Specialties, Lifeway, and DramaMinistry.com. I have a drama resources company called Righteous Insanity that offers more than 800 scripts AND a custom script writing service, a unique offering in the drama ministry world. I've also written curriculum and study materials for ministry.
I have produced a number of short films for Righteous Insanity, and I written for a number of independent film makers. I currently have feature films in development at Florence Productions, Window in Time Productions, and Top Secret Productions, and I am a staff writer for the TV show Kid Fit, produced by Uplifting Entertainment.
In addition to all this, I am very experienced writing for marketing and industrial projects. I've written material for Salem Radio, Chik-Fil-A, Metal Sales Manufacturing, and Kindred Healthcare, to name a few.
