Peter Benchley wrote the #1 Best-Seller Jaws, which was a novel released in 1974. Spielberg wrote a script when Peter Benchley's screenplay didn't fit what he imagined the film version to be. Carl Gottlieb (the guy who plays Meadows) wrote the screenplay, with additional help from Howard Sackler.

Another Answer

Peter Benchley wrote a book, Jaws, in 1973, and was commissioned to craft the screenplay for the movie in 1975, which Steven Spielberg directed, according to IMDb.
