alix reeves

I began writing (as an adult) using the screenplay format as a way to organize and layout a manuscript. With the Final Draft features that allow for creating character, dialogue, and scene reports, I was able to keep track of thousands of manuscript pages.
I have 12 completed feature screenplays and nine short.
My work tends to feature unique characters facing dark and usual realities with great resiliency and humor.

I've two published books available on Kindle & Amazon: MOUTH SEWN SHUT (psych-horror) and STING a collection of short fiction.

My stories have appeared in a Mad Hat Press, Short Story Anthology (2014) and my short story "Fapper" will be included in a horror anthology which will include stories by horror greats, Jack Ketchum and John Mayberry.
