"Pulp Friction with Paul Levine" presents:
John Schulian went from being one of the country's foremost newspaper sports columnists to success in Hollywood as a TV writer-producer and co-creator of XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS.
In the 1970s and '80s, his syndicated column for the Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Daily News earned him comparisons to such sportswriting legends as Red Smith and A.J. Liebling.
Schulian surprised friends and colleagues when he gave it all up in 1986 and broke into show business with a script for L.A. LAW. He went on to write for such iconic shows as MIAMI VICE and WISEGUY as well as the long-running hit JAG. But XENA, for better or worse, remains his crowning achievement.
Schulian, who has written extensively for GQ and Sports Illustrated, is the author of three books, most recently SOMETIMES THEY EVEN SHOOK YOUR HAND, and the co-editor of AT THE FIGHTS. He is presently editing a collection of great football writing and laying the groundwork for what he hopes will be a cable drama about boxing.
