Elizabeth Maud Dwyer is a writer, performer, and producer based in Albuquerque, NM.
While earning her screenwriting MFA from Stephens College, Elizabeth hugged the inimitable Winnie Holzman and was imbued with the singular grit of storytelling mothers.
Also an actor for stage and screen (since ages 11 and 36, respectively), Elizabeth briefly considered becoming a lawyer until she realized she just wanted to play one on TV (Better Call Saul, S04 E04).
Now a flourishing Moonshot Feature Accelerator Fellow, Stowe Story Labs Launch Fellow, ISA FastTrack Finalist, WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Finalist, and George R.R. Martin Screenwriting Grant Finalist, Elizabeth loves to tell all the love stories, especially when they're gay.The Blacklist says Elizabeth’s "dialogue sparkles." Her writing "has a little something for everybody" and is "smart... beautiful and charming", "tonally sharp and atmospheric", and her personal favorite, "hilariously awkward.”
Elizabeth's latest goals are to produce her queer, New Mexico homage to When Harry Met Sally and become a surgeon (on TV).
Two of Elizabeth’s hilariously awkward scripts earned top spots in the Issa Rae/Paul Feig Teen Movie Contest (Top 8) and Table Read My Screenplay (Top 10). With Lumos Productions, she wrote and co-produced two award-winning short films, Imagining Vera and Pinky Promise.
