Aaron Michael Bailey here. I'm a professional screenwriter specializing in psychological drama and elevated horror thanks in part to my graduate studies in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University (enjoy dabbling in comedy as well). I've recently hopped over from Coverfly and have been surprised by the wealth of opportunities this platform offers.
Happy to connect with fellow creatives, no matter the focus, and encourage everyone to keep going... Unique voices are important, now more than ever.

HI Aaron Michael Bailey nice to meet you! As a psychotherapist who is pivoting into the creative industries, curious how you went from studying clinical psychology at Pepperdine to screenwriting? Your profile is impressive.

Oh! your clinical psychology background is interesting. I’m sure that having that muscle really helps you draw out very three-dimensional characters because you’re probably always thinking about a 360° version of who you’re writing. That’s really cool. Thrilled to have you here over from Coverfly! Not sure if you know this, but we’ve hired three of the core team members from Coverly who are now in our development services helping connect writers with all of the executives we work with! https://deadline.com/2025/07/global-screenwriting-contest-hub-launched-stage-32-1236457432/ if you ever want to reach out to them and let them know what you’re writing, you can email them at successstage32.com.
