Brooklyn BookBeat
Writer Ron Hutchinson recently left California for the East Coast. He currently lives and writes in Brooklyn and says, “Over the past two years I have been participating in a study to determine how fast you can drain a bank balance by renovating a brownstone in Brooklyn! I’m also in the process of becoming Irish-American. I find myself in Clinton Hill, near the Navy Yards, where the Irish first moved in 1880’s when they began making money.”
Hutchinson is an award-winning screen, stage and TV writer who has been awarded Emmy, Ace and Drama Desk awards. He has taught at the American Film Institute and worked in Hollywood for 30 years with some of the biggest names in the business including Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, Samuel L. Jackson and Steven Spielberg. His new book “Clinging to the Iceberg: Writing for a Living on the Stage and in Hollywood” has a foreword by Brian Dennehy and will be published by Oberon Books in April.
