(Podcast miniseries art of Jane Austen courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.) Who BETTER to interview for the Jane Austen/Save Sanditon podcast miniseries than someone...in television?!? Yay! Simone Snow is a Hollywood Executive Assistant by day, and a screenwriter by night (and weekends). She majored in Creative Writing at Knox College, and she earned an MFA in Screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She's worked as support staff on television shows, at production companies, and currently at a major Hollywood studio. Her ultimate goal is to write for dramatic television, depicting and promoting diversity for women and people of color to see themselves as heroes and leading characters—not just sidekicks—on screen. With nearly a decade of industry experience under her belt, Simone knows her chosen career path is going to be an uphill battle. However, it's one she's eager to help fight. Simone is over at Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimoneSnow This month, in honor of Women's History Month, our love of Jane (for being so ahead of her time and creating heroines who are strong, smart and bold), we are rolling out a podcast miniseries to celebrate her final work.
