About me:

..
I was born in England and grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan. I'm a graduate of Central Collegiate and the University of Regina, where I received my BA in English. After living in Winnipeg and Moose Jaw, I eventually found my way to Vancouver. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with an MFA in Creative Writing, and I have a certificate in Writing for Film & Television from Vancouver Film School... .. ..

Vancouver..

..
I've been a freelance writer for assorted newspapers and magazines, a temporary secretary in London, a travel agent and the Managing Editor of a literary magazine (Prism international)... I spent a few years working for TELUS in Burnaby, BC, as an in-house travel consultant, a word processing clerk, a contract management clerk and a tech writer, creating and editing student materials for TELUS Learning Services... In 2003 I graduated from Vancouver Film School's full time program in Writing for Screen and TV... I'm currently a Program Assistant at UBC's Faculty of Medicine, School of Population and Public Health. I continue to write and develop screenplays. .. I'm the webbo, creator and designer of The Compleat Sean Bean. Click here. .. And you can visit my personal page (with lots of details about my writing career) here: Winona Kent ..

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Bill Nighy. I love his acting, and he's my hero for achieving international attention later in life. .. I would have loved to have met the writer Monica Dickens. I adore the sense of surprise that infiltrates her stories... I'd like to meet Richard Curtis. I would kill to be able to write funny screenplays as well as he does. .. Many years ago I wanted to meet Sean Bean. I've done that four times now, so I guess it's no longer a "like to meet", but a "really enjoyed meeting (and interviewing)" :) .. Read the interview here.

    Your in and on now... not sure what happened there - I don't know how to block people either!

    Great story about G.O.D. you sent me - I've met him a few times and he is very humble and genuine - i mean this guy's a superstar in my view and he's just like the bloke you meet at Tescos he really is.. awesome!
