About Tanisha

Tanisha Quilter-Williams brings a unique worldview shaped by a colorful background. From growing up as a “military brat,” to working in the trenches at some of Hollywood’s top companies, her eclectic experience has created a unique perspective and fostered her producing projects, as well as her multifaceted characters that come to life in her screenwriting. She also enjoys writing dramedies about the female experience and the quest for self-discovery.

Working at ICM, WMA, Inside Edition, E! Entertainment and US Weekly introduced her to experiences that landed her on the red carpet interviewing celebrities, such as, Oprah Winfrey, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Denzel Washington, and Kelsey Grammar. During her time at US Weekly, she played a major part in bringing one of the biggest cover stories to US Weekly Magazine when she negotiated the Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin engagement cover story.

In 2013, Tanisha left the journalism world behind to pursue her passion for screenwriting. She eventually went back to school to obtain her MFA in Creative Writing and hasn’t looked back. Today, she has written and produced a fiction podcast drama called “Forties AF,” about three forty-something single friends who pick up the pieces their thirties left behind. Forties AF season 1 has received more than 35,000 downloads with very little marketing or ad budget. The podcast has been chosen to participate in Gotham Pitch Week 2021 and has been nominated as BEST FICTION PODCAST by the Podcast Awards-People’s Choice to be announced on September 30, 2021.

Her second season of Forties AF podcast dropped in the winter of 2021 and currently has been downloaded 100,000 times to date. The audience is growing and we are seeking funding to turn it into a web series. Tanisha has also just finished writing and producing a dramatic short film called JAMES, about a mother who comes to grips with her young daughters secret and working on a thriller project called "Prayer Request."

Tanisha is single and based in Los Angeles, CA.
