Michael Dawson has been a writer for forty years. He began his adult life as a journalism and English major and worked on two newspapers before entering the U.S. Navy. Mick’s post military education was a Bachelor’s of Business Administration and he enjoyed a 25 year career as a business consultant. However, writing has always been Mick’s first love and he has pursued freelance writing from the beginning, writing for various magazines, newspapers, and encyclopedia publishers. Regular freelance gigs writing marketing materials and business manuals have peppered his career as well.
Mick has spent the last several years studying screenwriting and has written several screenplays. One, Behind the Window, has enjoyed success in screenwriting contests, reaching the Quarterfinals in six contests. Together with son David and daughter Theresa, Mick has incorporated Dawson Digital Productions and as President, is leading the company into the full length feature film arena. Dawson Digital Productions, or D2P as it is often called, has also earned its way with successful projects in corporate promotional videos, corporate and industrial training videos, and a 60 second TV advertisement that aired nationally.
Mick began acting with small parts in David Dawson’s short films and plays the hit man “Silverfish” in What’s the Vig?
