Leah Baxter

I’m an obsessive-compulsive American screenwriter. I earned my MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) at Western State Colorado University in 2013. I departed with a precise (typewritten, double-spaced, with a timeline) plan to pursue novel writing. Then in 2015, I attended a conference and fell prey to the alarmingly uncertain world of screenwriting.

In 2016, my magical realism short script was selected for the feature film LHASA, I LOVE YOU (China).

Recently I’ve turned to comedy, just completing a feature.

Additionally, I enjoy travel, play Celtic harp and am a wine enthusiast.

I’m currently on the threshold of sterilizing my keyboard and beginning a new project. And when I write, I write to kill.
