Hey there, I’m Joanne!

I’m an award-winning Australian–American screenwriter, a playwright, and founder of Sweetest Pit Bull Productions.

I write original stories for stage and screen, driven by a love for writing underdog characters across multiple genres.

My screenplays have received international acclaim, earning awards and official selections at festivals and competitions in the UK and the USA. I’m also a playwright with The Writers’ Card community at The Royal Court Theatre in London.

I studied screenwriting at RMIT University (The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology), as well as playwriting and set design at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Australia.

I’m a member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and Australian Writers’ Guild.

Beyond stage and screen, I’m also a published author of children’s books and novellas.
