Welcome! I’m Aadip Desai
Hey there! Whether you know me as a screenwriter, fellowship coach, musician, or that guy from Worst Cooks in America (yep, that was me), I’m thrilled you’ve stopped by.
I’ve been fortunate to weave storytelling into every corner of the entertainment industry.As an EMMY nominee and BAFTA Breakthrough US honoree, I’ve written for powerhouse networks and studios including ABC, Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Sony. When I’m not writing, you might find me managing the 17,500-member strong LA TV Writers Facebook Group, sharing insights on the On The Page podcast with Pilar Alessandra, or helping fellow creatives navigate their entertainment careers.
My journey…
has taken me through the halls of AFI, the Disney Fellowship program, and various creative roles – from screenwriting to comedy, marketing to music. I even ran music for Starbucks for many years, recorded on Sub Pop, toured with Epitaph Records, and played the Monterey Jazz Festival multiple times. This diverse background has given me a unique perspective on the industry and allows me to offer practical, real-world guidance to other creatives chasing their dreams.
Think of me as your creative sidekick.
Whether you’re looking for someone to write for your show/movie/podcast or pen a best man speech, or need fellowship application coaching, screenwriting insights, or just someone who understands the wild ride of pursuing a creative career, I’m here to help. After all, having worn many hats in this industry (sometimes literally – ask me about my collection!), I know firsthand that the best stories often come from unexpected places.
