Alec Whittle

Optioned screenwriter and copy artist writing short stories, poems, and the occasional apple-themed vignette.

About Me

Raised in the rain-soaked Northwest, now settled in the flatlands, I write from the tension between mountains and open sky.

How I Work

Chasing the spark, a line, a tension, a gesture, and shaping it until it feels alive. Quiet, iterative.

My Ethos

I write small human stories set against big worlds, intimate, flawed, curious. Screenplays, fiction, poetry: all rooted in honesty and connection.
