Introduce Yourself : I write historical scripts with strong women. Hit me up here if this aligns with your mission. by Marlena Evangeline

My high concept scripts generally feature dynamic women protagonists, often torn from the pages of history and reimagined; as a poet, my interest in language fuels my stories, energies my characters and invigorates the dialogue. My slate of scripts, novels, short stories and poetry leans back through a writing journey fuelled by the extraordinary events of a dramatic life well-lived; from the drug smuggling of my ex's early years to the moment I was offered witness protection and a new life (which I refused) to more sedate years of reflection and memoir. I spent four years in a boatyard rebuilding a 1955 Navy Utility boat into a motor yacht; this journey is memorialised in my book and script, Raising The Ruby Tuesday( not yet published but ready). I eventually sued Port San Luis after my boat ended up on the shoreline after a storm (long story here). My books and poetry collections are available on Amazon, and my current work in progress is a spec script I have been forced into writing (after promising myself NO MORE SPECS) as the idea is so damn good. A few years back I had great interest in my script Watertown, set in the Owen's Valley during the Water Wars of the early 1900s, but I opted out as something felt "off" with the Producer. I breathe, I write, I endure. marlenaevangeline.com
