From Disney’s imagineering halls to Skyrim’s frost‑bitten peaks, JD has spent nearly twenty years as the clandestine force who supercharges other writers’ worlds—first sharpening stories in Mickey’s backyard, then answering a call from a Bethesda fraternity brother to help sculpt SKYRIM’s epic quest‑lines, part of a dev team that snagged 14 awards from 17 nominations its debut year. Hollywood quickly took notice: JD injected covert‑ops credibility into BURN NOTICE, COVERT AFFAIRS, and the twist‑loving BLACKLIST, earning a reputation for stitching bulletproof authenticity into high‑adrenaline plots. In 2021 he teamed with his creative powerhouse wife, Jennifer, and their original scripts have since racked up a dozen category wins and more than two dozen top placements—spanning three true‑story action‑adventure pilots, a fantasy‑magical‑realism series spun from Jennifer’s forthcoming trilogy, and a docudrama‑psychological thriller that unspools a 30‑year conspiracy with global financial stakes. Precision, imagination, and audience‑gripping depth: JD delivers all three, on deadline, every time.
JD Wallace is the secret weapon Fortune 500 teams call when their words need to win. A 20‑year veteran of high‑stakes business writing, he evolved from drafting razor‑sharp psychological intel on Mideast terrorist pivots for the U.S. government to shaping blue‑sky concept docs for Disney Imagineers, then spent seven trailblazing years at Amazon—becoming the company’s most sought‑after Global Business Writing facilitator and electrifying 1.5 million Amazonians with his original, award‑winning content. Schooled one‑on‑one by Jeff Bezos during the birth of Amazon Smart Home, JD absorbed the Customer Obsession ethos and the legendary six‑pager culture at its source. Today he distills those battle‑tested formats and storytelling frameworks into precision coaching that helps individuals and organizations write clearer, think faster, and drive decisions like the world’s most influential innovators.
Outside the boardroom, JD dove straight into the deep end of narrative mastery—workshopping plot twists with Stephen King, swapping story hacks with high‑school pal and New York Times Bestseller Tess Gerritsen (GRAVITY), and absorbing guru‑level craft from Robert McKee and Michael Hauge until their frameworks clicked into one seamless, turbo‑charged toolkit any writer can wield. He honed those tools coaching celebrity memoirists, ghost‑penning riveting biographies, and shaping classified “tell‑all” manuscripts for military and intelligence insiders. Then JD aimed his own pen at the most explosive tale in his orbit: the covert marriage of a U.S. psychological‑operations officer and an undercover Mossad Katsa. To shield real‑world operatives, he sold the rights as a “fictionalized account of a true story,” threading the needle between raw authenticity and airtight secrecy—proof that when JD fuses lived experience with elite storytelling chops, the result is a narrative with both teeth and tact.
