Stephen Yafa is an American screenwriter, author, and speaker.[1] He was noted for his 1968 screenplay, Paxton Quigley's Had the Course,[2] which was also a Writers Guild of America award-winning novel.[3] The film was renamed "Three in the Attic."[4][5] Reviews were not good,[6] and Variety noted that Yafa disowned the picture.[7] Yafa co-wrote the screenplay for the 1971 film, Summertree, with Edward Hume, based on the successful Ron Cowen play.[8][9]
Yafa is also known for his first non-fiction book, Big Cotton, published by Viking in 2005,[10][11][12] and republished as Cotton: The Biography of a Revolutionary Fiber by Penguin in 2006. He was interviewed about the book on Illinois Public Radio.[13] His most recent book is Grain of Truth: Why Eating Wheat Can Improve Your Health.[14][15][16]
