Watt’s nonfiction guide to writing, was published in 2010. His novel Diamond
Dogs (Little, Brown) was a Los Angeles Times bestseller and was

Dogs has won numerous awards, including France’s 2004 Prix

film company Quad. In 2002, Watt founded LA Writers’ Lab to help writers of
all levels unlock the story within. His 90-Day Novel workshops in Los
Angeles are now taught online to writers worldwide. Writers Tribe Books,
his publishing venture, will release four works of literary fiction in the
winter of 2012.
