I’m really glad you’re here. Say hi, won’t you?

So, Lynn… who are you?

I’m a screenwriter, storyteller and social justice advocate, focusing in sci-fi and speculative fiction - stories where no matter how dark it seems, there is always hope. Interested? Talk to these awesome people!

I’m Governor of the Writers Peer Group for the Television Academy for 2023 + 2024. If you’re an eligible TV writer, we would LOVE to have you JOIN US!

I’m also the Chair of the Board for Miry’s List. We exist to welcome new arrival refugee families to the US, providing practical, individualized support for them and their communities through crowd-sourced solutions, the New Arrival Supper Club and more! (I adore these humans. so. much.)

My adventures in tv and film have included the worlds of:

MARS 2080 - Coming soon!

THE HANDMAID’S TALE (Hulu, UK’s Channel 4) – Season One and Season Two and Season Three are all available! 

THE COMPLEX, an interactive feature for Mac and PC, Playstation, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch!

Plus COVERT AFFAIRS, ALPHAS, EUREKA, Heyday Films and more (hi there, imdb!) I also occasionally write for magazines, branded content marketing and have just ventured into the world of writing for the stage (more details coming soon!) ::

I’m also on Instagram a lot, talking about creativity, science, art, writing, coffee and the people who inspire me.  It’s kind of my thing ::

What are you watching right now?

If you love a tv show, I probably do too! I love lots of shows for SO many reasons. In the last few years — 3 Body Problem, The Last of Us, Dark, The Bear, Succession, Shrinking, Station Eleven, For All Mankind, The Mandalorian, The Lazarus Project, Ted Lasso, Schitt’s Creek,  Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Picard, Lower Decks and Outlander have been recent favorites.

The West Wing and Alias made me want to write for television. Battlestar Galactica is a master class in how to write a space opera.  Mad Men will always be one of my great TV loves. Halt and Catch Fire,  Orphan Black and Fringe are some of my lifetime favorites.

And The Handmaid’s Tale - because of course.

And then there are my favorite movies. I watch Arrival and The Martian over and over. The Prisoner of Azkaban made me dream about adapting books for film - especially once I worked for Heyday Films. Dune is a damn masterpiece. tick, tick… BOOM! fills my soul with joy and is a perfect deep dive into a creative life. Cairo Time - for the agony and emotion. Same for The Lunchbox. Across the Spider-Verse. Greta Gerwig’s Little Women. I die. Parasite + E.T. + The Man From Earth + Booksmart + Europa Report + Black Panther + Children of Men + Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind + Bodies Bodies Bodies + Everything Everywhere All At Once + Oppenheimer + Past Lives. I’m starting a rewatch of everything Hayao Miyazaki ever did. And… because we are all sometimes versions of our eleven year old selves - Titanic. I can’t even help it. I love it.

What do YOU love? What should I be watching? ::

If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

This feels like a question you ask on a first date. Is this a first date?  I am a girl of London and Los Angeles! My heart comes alive in both cities, and I feel ridiculously lucky that I’ve been able to split my time between them! ::

Anything else we should know about you?

Again with the first date questions!  Coffee is the way to my heart. I love old stories, new crayons, good wine, awesome books, making fancy dinners for friends, the click-click-click of my keyboard, uncynical love, early mornings and late nights, hope, creating community, Christmas lights, second chances and space operas ::

There are such amazing things on the horizon.  I can’t even wait to tell you about all of them!  stay tuned ::
