I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.
Gwendolyn Brooks
Born and raised in Toronto to a family of American expats, I ventured down to the U.S. for college at Northwestern University (loved it) and eventually ended up in L.A. I tried my hand at acting, booked a commercial or two but mostly paid my dues working as a cocktail waitress in Hollywood which inspired my novel The Cocktail Hours. Then I discovered (and fell in love with) screenwriting. A graduate of the UCLA Professional Program my work is inspired by the headlines, grabbing ideas everywhere from pop culture to politics. Recent writing credits include Law & Order: SVU (NBC), NCIS (CBS), MANIFEST (NBC) and SNOWFALL (FX) .
