Cylin Busby and Nanci Katz

Who: Busby, a best-selling, award-winning children’s author, and Katz, an American Film Institute graduate, wrote their first screenplay, Rebecca and Quinn Get Scared, which became a comedy finalist at AFF 2017.

Biggest Lesson Learned: “One publisher I worked with told me, ‘There are no great writers, only great revisers.’ That stuck. All writing is revision.”—Cylin Busby
