I'm Katie, a content creator and copywriter who most recently worked at an EdTech company based in New York City. Before writing professionally, I was an English teacher and tutor for over a decade.
I started my screenwriting career in 2020 and my work continues to get recognized by festivals and contests in the business. My pilot script, “Positives,” was a semifinalist for the Sundance Episodic Lab and ScreenCraft’s Screenwriting Fellowship in 2021, as well as a quarterfinalist for Final Draft’s Big Break competition in 2022. It remains in the top 8% of discoverable projects on Coverfly. My first feature film script, “Widowed,” was recently named a quarterfinalist for the renowned Academy Nicholl Fellowship, landing it in the top 6% of entries.
