Welcome to The Screenwriting Life, a podcast where Oscar-nominated writer Meg LeFauve and Emmy-nominated writer Lorien McKenna discuss not only the craft and business of Screenwriting, but also the emotional life: the ups and downs of being a creative, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep writing.
Melissa Rosenberg – creator of JESSICA JONES, head writer of DEXTER, and screenwriter of the TWILIGHT films – joins Lorien to talk about what it takes to stay grounded as a storyteller.
From building creative communities to rediscovering her artistic voice after decades in Hollywood, Melissa reflects on the evolving balance between ambition, authenticity, and healing through story.
