Callaghan studied playwriting at Yale under Donald Margulies, where he was the school’s first gay sex-and-dating columnist (and yes, his mom read his column, and the ensuing conversations were just as awkward as you imagine). He received an MFA from the National Theater Conservatory and spent several years writing and performing all over the country. Callaghan won the ISA's Emerging Screenwriters Contest and the Final Draft Big Break Contest back to back in 2018, and was subsequently named one of the Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch in 2019 by the International Screenwriter’s Association.
Various scripts by Callaghan have been finalists for the PAGE Awards, The Tracking Board's Launch Pad Competition, The Screencraft Pilot Launch Competition, and the Cinequest International Film Festival.
