ABOUT ME
Amber Johnson is a multiracial TV drama writer hailing from the often forgotten state of Delaware. In the past, she has worked as a Development Coordinator at Blue Sky Studios where she brainstormed fart jokes. By day she works as a freelance screenwriter for Sesame Workshop's LEGO Play to Learn series, and by night she writes dark fantasy thrillers. It's a healthy balance that keeps her sane.
"A culture cannot evolve without storytelling. When a society repeatedly experiences glossy, hollowed-out, pseudo-stories, it degenerates. We need true satires and tragedies, dramas and comedies that shine a clean light into the dingy corners of the human psyche and society."
