Screenwriters on Twitter

There has been a massive explosion on the Twitter scene lately, and within a couple of months I've gone from following and being followed by a few folk to hundreds. I think part of the new popularity is down to that Stephen Fry chap and the media hounding him for interviews. Will it last? Who knows - but at the moment it's nice to have so many other people using it.

Many of you lovely screenwriting types are now on Twitter, and I'm following lots of you. I thought it might be helpful to list the screenwriters I follow here, and keep the list updated as often as possible. I've ordered by Twitter screen name, and if you don't have your real name on Twitter then I probably haven't listed it below, even if I know it.

As you can see, we have a grand mix of famous, infamous and unknowns mixed together, which is far more fun than putting you in different classes.

I follow a few other screenwriters who never post, so I've not included them here just now, but I'll update if they do.

If I don't have you in my list, then follow me on Twitter and I'll add you, or comment here. Remember, this is a personal rather than authoritative list!

UPDATE August 2009: as Twitter have changed the way they list contacts, this list has subsequently become harder to manage. Do send me a tweet or comment below and I'll add you to this.
