Heather Jackson – Novel Writing from a Screenwriter’s Perspective

Heather'sheadshot

Heather is a freelance screenwriter based in Toronto. She attended Ryerson University’s Radio & Television Arts program and the Canadian Film Centre’s Prime Time Television Writing program, which led to a career penning cartoons and tween dramas that are broadcast all over the world. Recently she transferred her screenwriting skills to a new medium: video games. She’s currently writing, developing, and story editing narrative-based games such as LongStory and the upcoming VR game The Last Taxi.

Heather is also writing two YA novels: PSYCHO SMART and DEMONS DON’T DO LOVE. Neither is autobiographical. Mostly.

When she’s not writing, Heather can be found bouncing with the Ryerson University Trampoline Club in pursuit of the preposterous goal of becoming a semi-competitive trampolinist by forty.
