OUR STORIES
Dana
Braziel-Solovy
Co-President
In true bisexual fashion, Dana Braziel-Solovy hates having to choose, so she writes all types of comedy television: workplace, high concept, dark, light, hard, female-driven.
To support her compulsive TV writing habits, Dana works as a true crime podcast writer (currently: PAVE Studios' The Final Hours) and as a television Art Director with credits on shows such as CSI: VEGAS and WANDAVISION.
In 2025, Dana was selected by both the Hollywood Radio & Television Society as a Career Fellow and by Disability Belongs as an Entertainment Lab Fellow. She was a Mentee in the 2022 Women In Film Mentorship Program.
​
Dana believes strongly in interpersonal understanding, which is why she spent time living in Berlin studying German and continues to learn the silent language of circus arts.
Megan J. Wilson
Co-President
Megan wrote her first play (a modern and irreverent take on the Three Little Pigs) at age 10. She chooses to believe the laughter from the audience was at the jokes, not at the effort.
Megan lives in Los Angeles but considers the Pacific Northwest home. She’s worked at a publishing house in Seattle, a law firm in North Carolina, the NFL in New York, and a cannery in Alaska – and yes, there were bears. She was a writers assistant for CBS for 3 years, and she wrote and produced a 6-episode webseries (The Sanctum, 2009). She writes action/drama, action/sci-fi, and action/comedy, and her stories often feature families dealing with mental illness. She’s been Finalist for the PAGE Award, Quarterfinalist for the Nicholl and Script Pipeline, and a Second Rounder in Austin Film Festival. She currently has three features and a short in development.
​
in 2018 she helped found the League of Women Writers, and Megan is also on the board of Chicks With Scripts. In her free time she loves quilting, snowboarding, writing graphic novels, and has a complicated relationship with her crockpot.
Julia Bergeron
Secretary

​

She has written and directed 2 shorts, and won 3 festivals. Her other screenplays have finaled in AFF, Page, ScreenCraft, and Shore contests.
