Winner, Roadmap Writers' LGBTQ+ Pitch Fellowship 2026
BIO
Nikki Palumbo is a bicoastal non-binary writer and comedian who still reeks of New Jersey. They most recently wrote for the WGA Award-nominated Tiny Time Travel (PBS Kids) and most apologetically for AI (Google, Master Class). They write subversive queer comedy, largely by accident, like their mob pilot Lil Italy (ATX TV Festival 2022, WIF x Black List Episodic Lab & WIF Fellowship 2025). In 2026, they were named a fellow for Film Independent Project Involve, WIF, and the Yes And Laughter Lab.
