Semifinalist, Roadmap Writers Short Script Lab 2026
BIO
Debra Sharkey writes across genres, though she keeps finding her way back to stories of redemption-and to the spiritual questions that hide inside them. She came to screenwriting through acting and development, where she helped shape fifteen produced projects across film and television. She holds a BA in Film Studies from UC Santa Barbara and lives in Los Angeles. When she's not writing, she's on a pickleball court.
