Steven Vivell

Steven Vivell is a writer, actor, and teacher living in Los Angeles. As a child he was often isolated, so he turned to fantasy novels, which fueled his overactive imagination. As a teenager, drama class made him fall in love with acting, which developed his identity and ability to empathize with others. In college, he was finally ready to start writing his own stories. As an adult, he’s learned to balance his introversion and a social life with wonderful friends (3:2 ratio).

Steven’s writing combines epic stories and fantastic worlds with empathetic characters and grounded social issues. He loves the writers’ room, utilizing feedback, and reading his peers’ work to help them boost it. He is proud and overjoyed to belong to a community of talented artists.
