Jarrett Ledger
(Screenwriter & Playwright)
Screenwriter
Jarrett is a writer by trade--or at least he's called himself that for long enough that we sorta just believe him. From stage to screen, Jarrett funnels his southern flavor, love for animation, and unresolved awkwardness into
crafting light-hearted comedies .
His passion is to tell stories of redemption, finding our life’s purpose, and learning that what we desire most is not always what’s best for us. (If only he followed his own advice).
But he’ll write anything as long as there’s a whole lot of heart, a handful of puns, and maybe a show tune or two.
Whether you need a script doctor or someone to rant to, Jarrett is your guy!

Children's Books
Max the Monster Hunter
Charley and the Fair
This colorful children's story is my first take as a writer/ illustrator. In attempt at Suessian prose, Max the Monster Hunter tells the story of little boy's hunt for the monsters hidden in his house. From the closet to under the bed, Max learns that some things aren't so scary after all.
One of my grandmother's wish in life was always to write a children's book. So, like the good grandson I am, I became her editor and illustrator. Together we tell a simple story about a pig, a fair, a little thing called stage fright.
