Fred Bronson (born 10 January 1949; age 59) is a script writer. He also used John Culver as a pseudonym.
He co-wrote two episodes for Star Trek: The Next Generation with writing partner Susan Sackett; "Ménage à Troi" and the story for "The Game".
In 1974, Bronson also wrote the animated Star Trek episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" using his pseudonym, John Culver. At the time, Bronson was the NBC publicist assigned to the series. A year earlier, he had been the publicist on Gene Roddenberry's The Questor Tapes. Bronson was concerned about the impropriety of his writing for TAS as an NBC employee, although no one expressed disapproval in the end. Thus, he created his pseudonym, named for Culver City, California, where he grew up.
Bronson introduced Susan Sackett to Roddenberry – and in 1974, she was hired as his personal executive assistant.
