Alexander Chow-Stuart (aka Alexander Stuart) is a Los Angeles-based, British-born novelist and screenwriter, whose books have been translated into eight languages and published in the US, Britain, Europe, Israel and throughout the world. His most controversial novel, The War Zone, about a family torn apart by incest, was turned into a searingly emotional film by Oscar-nominated actor/director Tim Roth.
Stuart is currently writing a new adaptation of Keith Scribner's dark comedy, The GoodLife; and adapting Toby Barlow's extraordinarily passionate and violent Los Angeles-based book, Sharp Teeth for Film4, the company that gave the world Danny Boyle's multi-Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire.
Screenplays include: Head Shots, for Paramount with Jodie Foster and Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing; Whiteout, for Universal (now Dark Castle Entertainment/Warner Bros), starring Kate Beckinsale; Bitten, for Warner Bros with Angelina Jolie attached; Under The Skin, for Industry Entertainment/Film Four with director Jonathan Glazer attached; and a feature adaptation of Bill Buford's Among The Thugs for Kiefer Sutherland.

Stuart's books include The War Zone, Tribes, Life On Mars (which inspired the television documentary, The End of America), Five And A Half Times Three (written with Ann Totterdell, about the death from cancer of their five-and-a-half-year-old son, Joe Buffalo), and the children's books, Joe, Jo-Jo And The Monkey Masks and Henry And The Sea (written with Joe Buffalo Stuart).
In addition to scripting Roth's film of The War Zone, Stuart also served as executive producer of Nicolas Roeg's Insignificance, which brought together a fictionalized Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Joe DiMaggio and Senator Joe McCarthy, on one hot and humid night in New York.
Before moving to the United States, Stuart lived in London and Brighton, England. During the 1990s, he moved to Miami Beach, where he wrote Life On Mars, and taught screenwriting at the University of Miami.
In 1997, he was commissioned by the Miami Art Museum to create an artwork, Filmloop/Fragments, to accompany a sculpture installation by the Polish artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz.
Stuart now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Charong Chow, and their two children, a son born in 2004 and a daughter born in 2009. On September 22 2006, Stuart was sworn in as an American citizen. In 2007, he informally adopted the surname Chow-Stuart to celebrate the fusion of both family names in his children's surname.
