"Writing has always been my refuge to quiet the chaos going on around me"

Jennifer Steets has always been passionate about writing. After having trained with the US Womens Volleyball Team in Colorado Springs, CO, and working as a fashion model in Europe, NY, and Los Angeles, Jennifer decided to fulfill her dream to become a screenwriter. She took a ten week "Intro to playwriting" course with a Mark Taper Forum playwright, attended UCLA Extension courses, and several in home workshops with private teachers, all for writing. She has written a novel, a few short stories, and finally, her first feature screenplay.

And.. practice makes perfect! Earlier this year, Jennifer won Best First Time Screenwriter with Crickets, a beautiful drama about five happy sisters who share a week of life altering experiences while their parents vacation abroad.
