About

As a screenwriter and script editor, Wendy’s credits include iconic dramas Neighbours and Home & Away, as well as numerous award-winning children’s titles like Giggle & Hoot, Fizzy & Suds, The Wonder Gang, Beep & Mort, and the upcoming Flower & Flour. She’s also a three-time Australian Writer’s Guild Award nominee.

Before screenwriting, Wendy worked in children’s publishing, sold choc tops at the cinema, gave excellent scalp massages as a salon shampoo girl, and was once tasked with holding an umbrella over a box of scorpions to keep them from getting sunburnt on a shoot…
