Other writing

In addition to my books, I've written essays, opinion pieces, and screenplays. I've rounded up some samples below.

 
 

TV Scripts

I write 30-minute feminist dramedies.

  • “Yes, Andrea” (a 2020 Sundance Episodic Lab finalist) is about the artistic director of a small-time, suburban improv theater who struggles to have the same confidence in her everyday life that she finds onstage. When it comes to the great improv show that is life, it helps to have a community of fellow weirdos.

  • “Liberated” is about three Gen X women in Brooklyn — best friends since college — trying to find their purpose in the wake of the 2016 election. As these long-time middle-aged friends navigate career and family, self-expression and social responsibility, they always come back to each other — and to the realization that they are essential to each other’s liberation.

  • “Fair” is about a chronically responsible 30-something woman who is poised to take over her family’s summer fair in a small Maine town, only to discover that her dad is handing the reins to her chronically underperforming brother instead. In desperation, she turns to her worst nightmare: Her overbearing mother.
