Blake Snyder joined the family business at age 8 working as a voice talent for his father, Emmy-award winning TV producer, Ken Snyder (Roger Ramjet, Big Blue Marble). 

Blake graduated from Georgetown University with a B.A. in English where he was Editor of The Georgetown Voice. 

Blake began his career writing for the Disney TV series Kids Incorporated, penning thirteen episodes before turning to writing spec screenplays full time.  Before long, a trade journal noted that Blake had become "One of Hollywood's most successful spec screenwriters." 

Blake sold many original scripts and pitches to the major studios, including two million-dollar sales (one to Steven Spielberg), and had two films produced.  Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, Third Grade and Nuclear Family sold to Universal; Poker Night, Drips, Blank Check and Herbie Comes Home sold to Disney; How I Joined The CIA and Big, Ugly Baby! sold to Fox Family TV; and Alienators to Total Film Group.

Blake's first book Save The Cat! The Last Book On Screenwriting You'll Ever Need was published in 2005.
