STEPHANIE OLIVIERI BOURBON is a multi-optioned screenwriter with experience in both television and film from Los Angeles. Having grown up disconnected from her parents, her leads seem to have it all but don't. She writes commercial rom coms, many of which are set at Christmas. With no formal training, she landed a job at Disney Feature Animation as an artist after doodling on a call sheet. She went on to work on films like Hercules, Mulan, and Tarzan, among many others, at some of the world's biggest studios. It was at Disney that she optioned her first screenplay, igniting her passion for writing. She has studied with Blake Snyder, Steve Kaplan, and many others, including winning a spot at Robert McKee's weekend seminar. Her new rom-com, SANTA AI, has placed in contests, earned her a scholarship at the Rocaberti Writer's Retreat, and was accepted into The Stowe Narrative Lab. Stephanie is a published author of children's books and contemporary fiction. She also runs a successful consulting business for female writers. Stephanie spends her time drinking Gilmore levels of coffee, hanging with her Doodle, and wrangling her husband. Her favorite place in the world is on a plane, absorbed in a good movie from 38,000 feet.
