Jason Myers

There is more than one author with this name

Jason Myers was born in 1980 and raised on a farm ten miles outside of the small town of Dysart, Iowa. After

he graduated high school, he moved to San Francisco where he studied

film at the Academy of Art University. It was there, after taking a

Screenwriting 3 class that he met and studied under the inspiring instructor

and author James Dalessandro. James helped Myers grasp the value of

having great stories within the story and also the value of pacing. He also

taught him how to structure his stories in a way that made the reader feel

invested. Myers then sat down in early 2003 and began working on what

would become the first draft of Exit Here. He signed with literary agent

Gary Heidt and in 2005, at the age of 24, he signed a major publishing

deal with Simon & Schuster. Exit Here would go on to be released in May

of 2007 and thus far the book has sold over 90, 000 copies worldwide.

In 2010, Myers' second book, The Mission, also on Simon & Schuster,

was released worldwide. The book went into its third printing six months

after its release and has already sold nearly 30,000 copies to date. Myers

recently signed a new two book deal with Simon & Schuster. His next book,

Dead End, a Midwestern Gothic back roads chase thriller will be released on

6.14.2011 and his fourth book is set to be released in the Summer of

2012.

Myers continues to reside in San Francisco and writes full-time.
