Barb Johns

I enjoy writing complex, nuanced stories and characters with a particular focus on women of all ages facing major life challenges. As a staff writer on “Firefly Lane” (Netflix), I co-wrote 3 episodes and completed 1 solo episode. I previously adapted the Susan Isaacs novel “As Husbands Go” for Freeform and optioned a one hour drama pilot to Fox TV Studios. Prior to that, I sold spec TV movie "StarStruck" to the Disney Channel, and wrote for ABC. I've worked as a development consultant, script coordinator and writers’ assistant, including for the well received “Good Girls Revolt” on Amazon. I also participated in the prestigious WGA Feature Writers Access Project and hold an MFA from The American Film Institute in screenwriting.
