Hi, I’m Dawn Greenfield Ireland, also known as DG Ireland. I’m an award-winning writer, screenwriter, editor, author, writing coach, and publisher. I create worlds and characters, fix stories, and help others bring their words to life. My career spans novels in multiple series (cozy mystery, sci-fi/fantasy, billionaire shapeshifters, and dystopian) and stand-alone sci-fi romantic adventures, with several nonfiction titles and award-winning editing and publishing work. My UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting certificate (2002) and ScreenwritingU training fuel my craft. My business, Artistic Origins, has been helping writers since 1995. I live in New Braunfels, Texas, with two cats, surrounded by moving boxes and a head full of stories; I write full-time and never suffer from writer's block. Besides writing, I coach writers, edit, format, and publish clients' books. My background as a technical writer taught me precision and organization, which flow into my fiction. I’ve had screenplays optioned and worked as a screenwriter-for-hire, and I love collaborating to shape compelling characters and immersive worlds.…
