Bobbi JG Weiss earned a BA in acting only to have the writing bug overwhelm her after college. Along with her husband and writing partner, David Cody Weiss, she has written over fifty books, 150 comic books, ten computer games, twenty-five animations, and too many other licensed projects to count for The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., Paramount Studios, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, DC Comics, Vivendi Universal, and many others. She lives near Los Angeles.

Writing Is Acting takes a different approach, with a hands on, acting-based strategy that walks you step-by-step through the creative process, revealing new ways of communicating with your inner self, unlocking your imagination, and ratcheting up the power of your prose.
