Suzanne Griffin
Management: Jonathan Taub, CT Media
Black List Recommended screenwriter Suzanne Griffin creates darkly romantic dramas, driven by female ambition and desire, whose fierce, witty protagonists risk everything to reinvent themselves and their worlds.

 A queer mom who's advocated for her learning-disabled and now university-enrolled son, Suzanne has a passion for narratives that empower outsider voices. Self-determination, alliances among women, and the healing power of empathy are her frequent themes.

She was mentored by showrunners JaNeika and JaSheika James (Gossip Girl), through the WIF Writers Circle Program, and by TV genre writer Jane Espenson (Foundation) through the Pre-WGA Mentoring Program.
