Shana Holmes

Shana Holmes (no relationship to Sherlock) is a queer, neurodivergent writer working in VFX at Netflix. She was a Disney Writers Program Semifinalist and is a participant in Ryan Reynold’s Group Effort Initiative. Shana got her start in improv and sketch comedy and now writes half-hour comedies featuring unconventional women, intergenerational relationships, and queer identity. After fleeing the icy tundra of Minnesota and living all over the world–Turkey, Taiwan, Mexico, and New York, to name a few–Shana is now happily settled in Los Angeles. She spends her free time gazing adoringly at her two cats, accidentally killing succulents, and getting scraped up at the climbing gym.
