Hey Everyone-- It's a beautiful Sunday in L.A. and I'm so happy to be here! I'm a writer, story consultant and writing coach. I’ve worked as a story consultant for Disney/Pixar, and written screenplays for Touchstone Pictures, Witt-Thomas Productions and Disney’s animation division. As a writing coach, I've worked with NY Times bestselling authors, experienced screenwriters, and beginners of all stripes on their books and screenplays. I serve as a mentor/judge in the CINESTORY Screenwriting Competition, and have worked as a volunteer teacher for InsideOUT Writers-- a non profit that runs creative writing workshops inside Los Angeles County’s juvenile halls. I’m a member of the Writer’s Guild of America, teach in UCLA Extension’s Creative Writing Program, and write a weekly blog on writing craft and inspiration at patverducci.com. I'm so excited to be here to connect with such a vibrant, cool, creative community. Can't wait to see what you all are up to! xo Pat

Hi Pat. Brilliant to meet you :-)
Hi Liliana-- so amazing that you have such a great body of work! Congratulations! Yes, I am of Italian origin. My dad is Sicilian and my mother's family is from Northern Italy. I grew up near San Francisco, where there is a huge Italian community. Where are you from?

Nice to see someone loves writers, everyone else seems determined to tell every writer how useless they are.

As we are all trying to improve our craft, it's nice knowing you're around.
Liliana-- HA! I so wish I could speak Italian. If you want to rewrite in English, I'd love to hear what you said! xo pv
