She recently sold a comedy script, and is now working on an adaptation of a Hugo-nominated science fiction novel, as well as a "four quadrant" action/comedy.

In another life, Colleen has had short fiction, essays, and poetry published in magazines you probably haven't heard of.  Her novel-in-progress, The Myth of Wile E., has won a number of literary awards, and will hopefully get finished one of these days.

Colleen enjoys reading, playing the piano, painting, public radio, Jeopardy!, science fiction and all that nerdy stuff, games of strategy/trivia/silliness, spicy ethnic vegetarian food, long hikes, and the natural sciences.

Ultimately she aspires to win Carl Kasell's voice on her home answering machine.
 
 
 
 
 

Please note: Colleen receives a LOT of emails requesting screenwriting advice, career guidance, and various other favors.  She regrets that she is quite inundated with work and unfortunately has trouble responding to such emails. 

If you stumbled upon this site because you're looking to hire a screenwriter, please be familiar with WGA rates and understand that Colleen does not work for hire on spec, nor for deferred pay, so please don't make such a request. Additionally, for legal reasons please do not send any "story ideas."  Be advised that the above email address does not go directly to Colleen, and any inappropriate emails or unsolicited loglines, treatments, stories, screenplays, and so forth will be deleted unread.  Thank you.
