Devany Greenwood is an acclaimed French-American poet and screenwriter. Her work boldly redefines the feminine by viscerally exploring the intersection of sexuality and nature, whilst alchemizing trauma and grief. Her debut feature script, Into the Thicket, has gained significant accolades, in addition to scoring 9/10 on The Black List, and her short scripts Ex Memoria and Hug of Thunder have garnered outstanding recognition across the board. 

 

In addition to screenwriting, she is a published poet, a former editor-in-chief at The Sandy River Review, and previously served as Editorial Assistant at Alice James Books, a nonprofit feminist press committed to collaborating with literary artists of excellence whose voices have been historically marginalized. She has since continued to develop a rich and expansive working relationship with AJB for over 14 years now. She has also served as a preceptor at the University of Maine, assisting in developing and teaching multiple college-level fiction writing courses. 

 

She is a two-time recipient of the Beth Eisen Memorial Scholarship, and holds a B.F.A in Creative Writing with an emphasis in poetry from University of Maine at Farmington.

TESTIMONIALS

"Devany’s coverage was second-to-none in bringing my script to not only be production-ready, but to what I had truly envisioned it becoming. She really dug into the original drafts I sent her, excavated what needed to be worked on, and provided considered and thorough feedback in service of the vision - not in service of my ego. Not only did she include what was working, but when it came to what wasn’t working, her feedback was direct, constructive and actionable, and it made all the difference in the world. Without her technical skill and commitment to artistic integrity, I would quite literally not have a script that I am proud to bring into production."
