Growing up as the Black Sheep Liberal, raised by a family of Conservatives, Susan Eileen Jizba has always felt like an outsider. Susan is a LA based writer who loves to create driven female characters that echo her personal quest to find her “own tribe”; a home in which she is heard, understood, and can fully express her own unique authentic voice.
Fascinated with the polarity of how men and women view the same world very differently, Susan obtained a BA in Psychology from Claremont McKenna College. Inspired to express a feminine viewpoint in the fictional world, Susan learned the craft of screenwriting through UCLA Extension. Motivated to learn the industry and master its evolving marketing game plans, Susan worked at Disney, Beacon Pictures, Sony, and Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Susan writes dramatic features with female leads that often combine the elements of grounded supernatural, romance and a bit of mystery.
I write stories that are often overlooked by History and by Hollywood: stories told from an authentic female perspective. Simply changing a male character to female by – “putting boobs on it” – doesn’t work for me.
I’m a truth seeker, a rebel, a humanist and an optimist. Despite the past, I believe in the future.
In the end, I believe, love will always win.
