Martina Lynne Papinchak Bozen

I majored in English and Theater at Yale and worked in film and TV development for a decade, often on uninspired remakes, but also on brilliant projects by spectacular writers that frequently never made it beyond the initial development stages.  Eventually I took a leap of faith and left to write my own projects, well aware of the hard work, blind luck, extreme patience, and help from strangers required.

Since then I have co-written dozens of screenplays and teleplays.  I recently completed my first YA novel and am a member of the LA chapter of SCBWI.  You can read more about projects I'm working on by visiting the "Young Adult Fiction" page of this website.

I live in the San Fernando Valley with my sublime husband, our amazingly awesome daughter, and a very fluffy orange kitty.
