Kaitlin Ann Meaney

Kaitlin Meaney is a writer, screenwriter, and part-time poet. Since school and beyond she has been writing and publishing her and work in any way she can. With some internal struggles that she puts into her characters. From short stories to poems, and even a novel here or there, she writes what’s on her mind or whatever inspires her. Sometimes it’s nature, other times it’s something she’s watching on Netflix. Regardless, there was a spark, the flame only need be fanned. While earning her degree in English Literature at Trent University, Kaitlin found a writer’s club, Trent Writer's Society, that helped her improve her writing skills among friends and share her work. With this group she even published some of her works in an anthology or two. Kaitlin loves fantasy writing; going to other worlds and exploring them with complex characters. While she was in University was when she started to play Dungeons and Dragons for the first time. Here she began to learn how to build characters, their backstories and how they might behave in certain situations. This is a passion she has that has continued to fan the flames of her creativity and contributed to some of her current writing. Once she left university she saw an opportunity to expand her knowledge by looking into the Screenwriting and Narrative Design program at George Brown College. There she began new projects and learned how to hone the art of script writing for television and film. While in this program she did some of her best work and met some amazing people along the way who continue to inspire her. She plans to shoot for the stars, leaving her pesky internal struggles behind and gaining more confidence along the way.
