Nicole Lynn Cohen currently lives in Brooklyn. She writes about earnest, often overlooked characters fighting for agency against life’s uncontrollable factors.

She studied English and Film at Tufts University. Her career in film began with a student internship at Bona Fide Productions under Oscar-winning producers Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa (Little Miss Sunshine, Nebraska). Upon graduating, she moved to Los Angeles and became an Executive Assistant at SpectreVision, where she worked under founders Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah, as well as producers Lisa Whalen, Stacy Jordensen, and Kim Sherman. She shadowed producers on the films Archenemy and No Man of God, and after a year she was promoted to Coordinator.

While honing her development skills, Nicole worked on her own fiction and screenwriting projects. She won the 2021 Subnivean Fiction Award for her piece, “You should talk to someone,” and received accolades from her literary hero Lemony Snicket (AKA Daniel Handler). Her fiction has been published in Subnivean, VOIS, Cagibi, and Cherub. Her original scripts have placed in the Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition, the Austin Film Festival, ScreenCraft’s TV Pilot Script Competition, ScreenCraft’s Feature Competition, the Outstanding Screenplays TV Pilot Competition, the Emerging Screenwriters – Genre Screenplay Competition, and the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards.
