Sera Gamble is a writer.  She currently writes for a spooky drama on the CW.  Before that, she wrote for a funny, smart PI show called Eyes that you missed because you blinked.  (You can petition to have it released on DVD here.  Which might be nice, as one of the episodes she wrote never even aired, and it was a really cool episode.) Before she started writing for TV, Sera was a screenwriter finalist on season two of Project Greenlight.  It is probably better that she didn't win. Before that, she wrote press releases and biographies for record companies.  Isn't it telling that we still call them "record companies"?   And they wonder why the kids keep finding ways to pirate their stuff; they're just a liiiittle behind the times, those record companies.   Before that, she worked assorted crap jobs and did a lot of theater and went to UCLA.  She wrote back then, too; she just didn't get paid for it, so it doesn't count as a job.

Sera also writes fiction and poetry.  She has been published in magazines you probably aren't familiar with, and she's won awards you've never heard of.  Lately, however, her work has been appearing in increasingly un-obscure places.  Most notably, her fiction has, for two years running, been anthologized in The Best American Erotica series.  "Blue Star" will appear in BAE 2007, out next February.  "The Clay Man" appears in The Best American Erotica 2006.  That story was also adapted for the screen by Raelle Tucker for the prestigious AFI Directing Workshop for Women. Sera starred in the short film, which played at several film festivals. Sera lives in Los Angeles, mere blocks from the beach, which is awesome but kind of kicks your ass traffic- wise.  If you are in the neighborhood, she recommends the mojitos here. Sera is a big fan of trashy blogs, Venice Beach palm readers, macaroni and cheese, and monkeys.
