Particularly Interested In

I'm interested in working with anyone who sees notes as something to look forward to not something to dread. I tend to work a lot in the YA/New Adult genre and really love supernatural stories. I feel like this is where I can be most helpful and I'm always happy to read about underdogs who find their strength and voice.

More about Zoila Amelia Galeano

Zoila, (Zoilita to her large Honduran family) knew since she was a toddler that she would be in show biz. One of her first paths in Hollywood was in Postproduction on scripted series at Warner Bros and Paramount studios. Later she jumped into reality television, where she worked as a Supervising Producer and Story Producer on such shows as PROJECT RUNWAY, Paris Hilton’s BFF and AMERICAN CHOPPERS. Life was sweet, but she secretly dreamed of becoming a writer. The idea of leaving her established career seemed scary, but then she became a stepmother to three teenaged girls. After that, nothing scared her. So, she gave up her glamorous life in Post Production (not to mention the steady paycheck) to pursue her passion.
She was accepted into the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Writing Program, the CBS Mentorship Writers’ Program, NBC’s Writers On The Verge and the ABC/Disney Writers’ Fellowship.
She won Baby First’s Rising Creators Project selling her animated pre-school children’s show Team Abuelita.
She’s been staffed on the Hulu series EAST LOS HIGH, the bilingual series RPM Miami for Mun 2 and THE FOSTERS for Freeform. She also wrote a freelance script for Hallmark’s GOOD WITCH, sold a YA chat fiction story, “Deranged Marriage” to Snapchat subsidiary Hooked and wrote an Untitled Quinceañera feature for Focus Features. She created a YA series with Brat TV called B-TEAM and wrote a freelance script for the animated preschool sitcom ROSIE'S RULES. She also became a playwright in 2020 with her first piece for stage titled “Not Your Mamà’s Period” which debuted on Period Piece a virtual play about periods and the people who get them. Her newest play “Foodie” was published this year by Next Stage Press as part of a new anthology of women Television and Screenwriters.
This year she was selected to the Netflix Created By Initiative where she received a feature development deal. She’s also currently in development with a production company on a feature based on the life of legendary artist Celia Cruz.
Her writing can range from dark and twisted (like her hair) to fun and dramatic (like her family) and she loves writing about the underdog who rises from the ashes to face her demons, literally and figuratively.
Zoila is happy chasing her dream as a writer, mom and aspiring karate black belt.
