About
Savannah holds a Bachelor’s in Dramatic Writing from The Savannah College of Art and Design. She’s passionate about crafting stories that change peoples lives and building relationships that last both on the page and in real life.
She currently writes and develops stories for tv. She has previously managed events at an Indie Bookstore and worked in theaters in the community as a dramaturg.
Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Savannah has grown up bouncing back and forth from the US and Indonesia until she was 15. She studied in Greenville and Savannah, GA, worked in a very cool Independent Bookstore located in the old family court house on Main street Greenville, and is now about to be based in Los Angeles. She loves books, watching way too much tv, going to the movies, going to cafes to people watch, urban sketch, and spending time with her tuxedo cat Buffy the Vampire Cat Slayer.
