Elizabeth Maud Dwyer is a writer, performer, and producer based in Albuquerque, NM.
While earning her screenwriting MFA from Stephens College, Elizabeth hugged the inimitable Winnie Holzman and was instantly imbued with the singular grit of storytelling mothers.
Now a flourishing Stowe Story Labs Launch Fellow, ISA FastTrack Finalist, WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Finalist, George R.R. Martin Screenwriting Grant Finalist, LA International Screenwriting Awards Semifinalist, and Moonshot Pilot Accelerator Semifinalist, Elizabeth loves to tell all the love stories, especially when they're gay.The Blacklist says Elizabeth’s "dialogue sparkles." Her writing "has a little something for everybody" and is "smart...beautiful and charming", "tonally sharp and atmospheric", and her personal favorite, "hilariously awkward.”
These qualities also landed Elizabeth’s scripts on two cherished Top lists: the Issa Rae/Paul Feig Teen Movie Contest Top 8 and Table Read My Screenplay Top 10.She wrote and co-produced two award-winning short films, Imagining Vera and Pinky Promise, and two of her essays were published in the collection "When Women Wrote Hollywood: Essays on Female Screenwriters in the Early Film Industry" (MacFarland, 2018). Elizabeth is here to make some good trouble (© Rep. John Lewis, RIP) on the page, and within her creative community she engages in ongoing, essential dialogue around who tells which stories and uplifting historically excluded voices. Her writing is a superpower, and with great power comes great responsibility. (#spiderman)
