I’m currently developing a dramedy about Wigtown, which is Scotland’s National Book Town. It’s inspired by two books, “Three Things You Need to Know About Rockets” by Jessica Fox and “The Diary of a Bookseller” by Shaun Bythell. The books were optioned by Fifth Season studio, with producers Liza Chasin and Diana Phillips. Emma Roberts is attached to star. I’m also developing a drama pilot for Amazon with Maddie Ziegler attached to star.

Over the past decade, I’ve written for several shows including the first two seasons of “Girls” and the final season of "The Newsroom.” I’ve also sold pilots to networks including Netflix, Amazon and Apple.

Before writing for television, I was a journalist.  I started my career as the assistant to  the late, great Peter Kaplan, the Editor in Chief of The New York Observer, where I wrote perhaps my most emailed story. It was about Googling guys before I went on dates with them. The New York Times Magazine's "On Language" column gave me credit for coining the verb "To Google."

Next, I became a Staff Writer for The New York Post and managed to write a story about a Hasidic Jewish workout video with the memorable headline "Muscle Tov." After a year, I jumped to New York magazine as a Contributing Editor for five years, during which I wrote a book, “4% Famous” (Random House). Then, I edited a magazine Hampton Style magazine and started writing for The New York Times Styles sections . That’s when I met some TV writers while reporting a story in LA about the writers’ strike of 2008. I decided to forgo that story and try to become one of them. My first gig was as a Staff Writer on Season 3 of the CW’s remake of “90210.”
