THE BRIDGE by Lindsey Connell and GIRL, YOU’LL BE A WOMAN SOON by Jill Riley
This month’s moderator will be KAREN WALTON.
Feisty, provocative and very irreverent, Karen Walton has become one of Canada’s most sought-after screenwriters. After being nominated for a Gemini for writing the CBC teen drama STRAIGHT UP and penning the internationally acclaimed teen angst horror film GINGER SNAPS, Karen was labeled one of the Top Ten Writers to Watch by Variety Magazine. She has written for the TV series THE ELEVENTH HOUR, QUEER AS FOLK, WHAT IT’S LIKE BEING ALONE, and is currently working on a total of 8 feature screenplays. She is a writing force to be reckoned with.
