Writer Biography - Victoria Zykina

I’m Zykina Viktoriia Olegovna, born on 11.10.1990. I'm divorced, have a son of 1,5 years. I have two higher educations - public administration and law. Before the birth of the child, I worked in a state institution, wrote official answers to citizens' complaints. Previously, I would never have thought that I could create something literary. It’s important for me to combine work with raising a child at home, so I just tried to write screenplays, while my son was sleeping. The first two scripts participated in many competitions and festivals. I have finished the third screenplay with which I’m going to move to the professional level.

I don't have any unfinished scripts. I always finish work, don't get distracted and don't leave it halfway. I don't have any unappreciated scripts. Since the first work, all my scripts have been included in competitions and festivals, and have also been awarded. I have commercially profitable ideas for work for the next 2.5 years.

I'm more interested in a good, exciting plot than a beautiful video sequence. I also like to look at familiar things from a different point of view, for example, to experience the story of Beauty and the Beast on behalf of the Beast, to see his experiences, doubts and choices.
