About

Storyteller . Screenwriter . Novelist (open for new projects Sept 2024 through Jan 2025)

Hi! Returning to Guru after 18 years authoring non-fiction, learning the craft of screenwriting and feature film development, and enjoying a deep dive into fiction. With a post-pandemic shift of life, I'm using what I've learned to help others with their projects while I take breaks between my own projects.

I've been a Writer all my life. Writing poetry throughout my childhood, then teleplays for my favorite television western when I was eleven, I traded it all in for policies, procedures and technical writing as an adult. Then, I returned to my creative mind and dove into ghostwriting here on Guru. When my writing self jumped into overdrive, and I turned to authoring my own non-fiction books, curricula, articles, blogs, and video script.

Intertwined in my nonfiction endeavors, I wrote and self-published the first novel of The KeyMaster. Now updated, the name has been changed and the project took a very different path than I originally dreamed of. More information to come very soon!

About fifteen years ago, I finally wrote my first screenplay. Predominantly amateurish, I eventually enrolled in film school, was taken by the hand and mentored by very seasoned film professionals that taught me the art of screenwriting, as well as how to put my own screenplays through the Development process to ready the project for production.

I am passionate about storytelling through the written word. Pre-pandemic, I was the Development Executive on three film projects (not all my own) when the industry shut down. Lockdown gave me the opportunity to return to writing, where my heart is, and where I have chosen to remain.

So, here I am, ready to take on a few projects while other pieces of my own life puzzle come together. I would love to put my skills and education to use for you and your project. Please connect, and let's get started!
