Scott Sanford Tobis is a screenwriter, copywriter and award nominated playwright (an honor he proudly lost to the late Ray Bradbury). In addition to writing for film and television (Twice Upon A Christmas, Desperate Housewives, Muggers, The Roast of Paul Hogan, and more), he crafts articles for numerous magazines, co-wrote The Desperate Housewives Cookbook, and is currently developing a vaguely-autobiographical (a term he just invented) TV series, entitled Unmoored.
He is endlessly fascinated by the human condition and remains cautiously optimistic in a world that doesn't exactly engender optimism at the moment. That said, he is fully optimistic that he can be reached at blankcanvas@gmail.com.
