Amanda Minchin is an award-winning screenwriter, a self-published author, and a produced playwright with top nods from the Austin Film Festival, Stage 32, Stowe Story Labs, Table Read My Screenplay, The Female Film Festival, WeScreenplay, Georgia Shorts Film Festival, and Mad Wife Top 100 Scripts, among others. She’s been known to devour hundreds of scripts each year as a reader for top screenwriting contests like BlueCat, and also moonlights as a freelance journalist of tv, history, and film through her small business. When she’s not buried beneath a pile of library books, she can be found at her current day job as game store librarian. Her writing has been known to mash genre elements with teachable moments that stick with the reader long after the page. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s probably picking herself up off the local ice rink floor or trying (and failing) to not catch poison ivy in her garden.
