Jeffrey Lieber is a screenwriter for both television and film. He was born in Evanston, Illinois, United States and attended Evanston Township High School. He is credited as a co-creator of the television series Lost.
ABC hired Lieber, based on his pitch with studio Spelling Television, to write a pilot for Lost. Lieber's initial pitch for the series, then titled Nowhere, was a realistic drama series heavily influenced by Lord of the Flies and Cast Away. As the project developed, ABC soured on the direction they'd given Lieber, and approached J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, who had an overall deal with their own studio, to rewrite.
An industry-standard arbitration was trigged by the competing drafts and the WGA ultimately recognized Lieber as co-creator of the show.
Besides his initial pilot scripts, Lieber has had no further input into Lost.
Beyond Lost, Mr. Lieber is credited on the films Tuck Everlasting and Tangled, as well as having been creator/executive producer for unaired TV pilots for Fox Broadcasting Company (2004) and Sony Television in (2008).
He is currently shooting "Miami Trauma", for CBS with Jerry Bruckheimer Television.
In addition to writing for television and film, Jeffrey is also a blogger at the website dailykos.
