About Karen

My features, TV pilots, shorts, and stage plays have garnered nearly twenty awards, including a Nicholls Fellowship. Full list of awards can be viewed on my IMDB page.

I'm happy to share privately and provide references to the companies/producers who hired me for re-writes and ghost writing work on their in-house scripts slated for development.

My background in film and stage performance absolutely feeds my writing. From Meisner work to improv and sketch comedy, I write multi-layered and unique characters who audiences want to watch and actors want to portray.

Character development, nuanced dialogue, and story nurturing are my absolute strengths. I'm a natural collaborator and believe all egos should be left at the door when the collective goal is to produce a project at its highest potential.

My go-to genres are heavy and dark dramas and the entire spectrum of comedy (from potty to political!). What I haven't experienced, I've observed, and I write it all with authenticity and truth. There isn't a subject too taboo for me to not bring into the spotlight, whether that be through laughter or tears.

Finally, I pride myself of being able to match other artists' visions. When joining a project, it's not about me as a writer. It's about the collective vision of the team and how WE see the end result.

In addition to writing, I offer script consultation, editing, and proofing services.
