Movies About Writers

Even before I was a writer I loved movies about writers and other creative people. I find it fascinating to see how their lives affect their work.
 
Here are some of my favorite movies about famous writers.


J.R.R. Tolkien is one of the most famous fantasy writers of all time. His Lord of the Rings series is a favorite of readers and moviegoers alike. Tolkien, in theatres now, follows the author through his hardships as an orphan, to his time in school—where he forms lasting friendships that change his life. It also gives us a glimpse into how his time spent fighting in World War 1 had a heavy influence on his work.

Becoming Jane is a wonderful film that stars Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen. A wonderful look at the struggles she had on her journey to being one of the most loved authors of all times.

Miss Potter is a whimsical and wonderful film that depicts the life of the beloved children’s writer Beatrix Potter. Renee Zellweger plays the lead role. Miss Potter was an eccentric young woman who defied convention and channeled her passion for nature to create books that have endured.

Do you have any favorite films about real (or fictional) writers?

And if you’re looking for a book to read, maybe you’ll check out the first book in my new sci-fi romance series. If you love sexy space mercenaries, you’ll love the Marks family.

Rescuing Rory
Marks Mercenaries, Book 1

Betrayed and sold into slavery after her father’s death, Rory Banks finds herself dancing on the Exos, a deep-space pleasure ship. So when a stranger breaks open her cage and offers her a way out, she grabs it and runs.

Kal Marks and his brothers are space mercenaries and traders who have spent the past ten years searching for their younger sister. Their hunt has led them to the Exos and to Rory, who they hope will have information. But Kal never counted on wanting Rory or on the sexual tension and scorching heat that blazes between them. This mission just got a lot more complicated.
