Hi, I’m Patricia Marie Fox—a screenwriter and instructor based in Minneapolis. I write character-driven features and shorts for film and television, and I love guiding others through the craft of storytelling. I earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Augsburg University and a BA in English from the University of Minnesota, and I have taught screenwriting at Augsburg University, Minneapolis Community & Technical College, and through community education programs. Outside the classroom, I work on screenplays and film projects, including Thirst and other short-form works, and I’ve produced and directed for independent film. I’m passionate about mentoring writers from diverse backgrounds, collaborating on stories with empathy, and helping students translate ideas into professional scripts and productions.
