David Baboulene

Biography

David Baboulene has had five books published and three film deals, two in Hollywood and one in the UK.

David works as a story consultant with training and development organisations, aspiring and established writers and producers. David is proving through a Ph.D. thesis that subtext is the defining substance of story, and by measuring subtext presence, depth and extent, he can tell you in advance how successful a story is likely to be. David is giving seminars on story principles throughout the UK and in Los Angeles in collaboration with The Script Factory, Euroscript and other partner companies.

David writes extensively on his subject, including his monthly column in Writing Magazine and Writers' News.
