Lynne Sherbondy

Lynne grew up in Las Vegas amidst mobsters, showgirls, and nuclear testing. But that's for another bio.

As a screenwriter who's pivoted to prose, she's new to literary fiction, but not new to storytelling. Her film scripts and plays have earned numerous awards; her latest book of poetry, All the world collected, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2024; and her recent flash piece, Combustion, was just featured in The Plentitudes Quarterly Literary Journal, Spring 2026. Lynne's currently at work on her first novel.

As a writer/producer, she's won a CINE Golden Eagle for her work on the NYSE visitors center film, It All Starts Here — at one point, the fourth largest tourist attraction in NYC — and has three Telly Awards. Additionally, Lynne has served as a Story Analyst for Academy Award-winning director, Jonathan Demme, and as an Associate Producer/Story Editor for Vanguard Films, where she created and developed an incredibly ill-fated sitcom.

She has a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a MS in Counseling from Fordham University, and an MFA in Film from Columbia University.
