Welcome to The Scribblers Toolbox!

Hi! I'm Jesse Alexander. For the past few decades, I’ve scribbled stories that blur the lines between worlds, literally and figuratively.

You might know my TV work: Lost, Heroes, Alias, Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery, American Gods, and Citadel. But you might not know I helped pioneer transmedia storytelling, crafting experiences that leapt from screen to screen. I’ve built digital worlds that expanded show mythologies, won awards, and demonstrated audiences’ hunger for stories that lived everywhere.

My path wasn’t traditional. I started in video games, scripting lines for a digitized Bruce Willis in Apocalypse. After bouncing between games and screenwriting assignments, selling feature specs, and even a Steven Seagal side-scroller, a friend convinced me TV was where writers held real creative power. Television became my playground for serialized genre storytelling. From the mystery boxes of Lost to the mythic sprawl of Heroes, to the psychological horror of Hannibal.

Still, I’ve never left my roots in games and cross-platform storytelling. I’ve consulted on Far Cry 3, Predator VR, League of Legends, and VALORANT, and scribbled animated trailers with Blur Studio. I’ve adapted Scrum methodology for writers’ rooms and once designed a narrative backstory for a global candy campaign. Working across mediums keeps my creative muscles flexible and future-proof.

These days, I'm helping out on VALORANT, developing new original IPs that are mostly serialized thrillers, speculative mysteries, and emotionally grounded action stories. I'm still pitching new series, consulting on feature films and games, and experimenting with the insanely terrifying AI tools reshaping creative workflows.

As a Gen-X kid with ADHD who grew up feeding quarters into arcade machines, rolling D&D dice in basements, and making Super 8 films with friends, I approach every project with enthusiasm, gratitude, and a collaborative spirit.

The Scribblers Toolbox is my space for sharing musings of the moment, practical tools, checklists, and storytelling strategies I’ve developed over the years, techniques to help writers stay inspired, focused, and productive. I post lessons from the trenches, storytelling insights, and methods I use to keep my ADHD brain on track and creativity flowing. Technology evolves, platforms change, but my goal remains constant: Scribble stories that are bold, entertaining, and resonate.
