Hi, I’m Paige VanTassell. I write for television, film, and theater, and I also craft advertising copy. I even enjoy writing grocery lists every week because I love to meal plan. My work has included writing and co-producing Netflix's Emmy-winning The Dragon Prince, plus writing the new hit Nickelodeon animated show, Rock Paper Scissors. My scripts have earned recognition in competitions like Final Draft, SeriesFest, and the Austin Film Festival, and in 2021 I was named one of the International Screenwriters Association’s Top 25 Writers to Watch. I also have created worldbuilding copy and scripts for immersive exhibits with Meow Wolf, have written audio stories for Pocket FM, and write advertising copy for a major energy company.
