Hi, I’m Nayna Agrawal, a TV/animation writer and screenwriter with credits on General Hospital (ABC), Disney Animation, Netflix, and more. I’ve developed and written for network shows, animated features, and stage works, shaping character, dialogue, and story arcs that resonate with audiences. I’m a Northwestern MFA in Stage and Screen Writing and a former Disney|ABC Writing Program fellow, with a track record of collaboration across writers, directors, and producers.
In my free time I create new content and mentor aspiring writers, currently developing SKY PUNCHERS for Confluential Films and continuing work on Disney/Netflix projects. I love brainstorming with creators to bring bold stories to life and delight audiences of all ages.
