About Billie

A voracious reader of sci-fi/fantasy since childhood, Billie wanted to be an astronaut and majored in engineering until she realized that her inner-ear problem meant she’d never go into space. Dream thwarted, she turned to writing, earning both an MA/MFA specializing in fiction, screenwriting, and playwriting. Billie has worked as story editor and union story analyst at several studios, though her claim to fame is smuggling a rescued baby chicken into the story department at MGM until she was caught by Alan Ladd, Jr. and forced to release the chicken back into the wilds of Tarzana.

A native Angeleno, she’s won The Writers Lab, finaled in Screencraft, top 3 TrackingB, semifinallist in Nicholl, and many more.

She’s just worked in the writers room with visionary Showrunner Mark Protosevich on SUGAR, starring Colin Farrell on Apple+. Billie also teaches screenwriting and with limited access to hatching eggs, rarely resorts to chicken smuggling. She is owned by three dachshunds, loves The Stones, and Formula 1 racing (Go, Hamilton!).

Recent winner of the Stowe/Studio Skyfire Fellowship this coming November.

Repped and all that.

Unique traits: Union Story Analyst. Pro-Equestrian in my teens. Obsessive compulsive reader of sci-fi and fantasy. I also love YA and NA. I’m probably a better prose writer but I love screenwriting.
