‘She’ in this instance refers to 28-year-old female, Eliana Gottesman. Currently based in Brooklyn, Eliana was, for about 24 hours at the start of her life, named Shani until her extended family protested -- concerned too many people would mispronounce it “shiny”.

 

So there you have it, her tragic origin story. She's come a long way. In addition to being named Eliana, Eliana is a writer, a producer, a comedian, and a script reader for ScriptUp. As a writer, she focuses primarily on screenwriting but also writes essays, and satire, and has a background in copywriting and editing too. Sometimes, she even writes emails, texts, or dating app bios for friends when they’re particularly stumped (one could call this ghostwriting, but should one?).

 

In the scripted sphere, Eliana likes to live in genre-melding land, with grounded dramedies being her bread and butter. In unscripted, she gravitates towards comedy, travel, and food, but a great story is a great story, full stop.​

 

Whew! Bios can be a mouthful, huh? Why not explore the site, then give Eliana a ring-a-ding? She promises not to give you an earful!
