“I have been mentoring aspiring television writers for more than 20 years. I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I have encountered a truly extraordinary talent. When I read the work of Addison Blu it was one of those rare occasions. Addison has combined a brilliant talent for writing with extraordinary life experiences that he had while serving our military overseas. His writing is fresh, original, funny, moving, and profound. Addison would be an incredible asset to any television writing staff. I do not imagine he will be on the market for very long because the savvy will snatch him up very soon.”
“Addison Blu is a gifted writer with an unmatched work ethic, a sharp eye for structure, and a voice shaped by extraordinary life experience - from military combat experiences to Mensa membership to raising four kids. He brings heart, enthusiasm and insight to every script and every room.”
“I’ve mentored many veterans in the WGF programs over the years and Addison is a standout talent. He has a brilliant mind and a unique and interesting life story. He is funny, thoughtful, a student of storytelling and a delight to be in a room with. He would be an incredible addition to any writers room.”
