A lot of writers know me as Alien Queen Mum. Others refer to me as The Movie Maven. But I’m just Kathy Patterson, fiction and preWGA screenwriter. I’m not repped yet, but have a lot of industry professionals reading my work.
I’m a Stowe Labs Fellow. PAGE and Script2Comic Finalist. My stories blend reality with elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror and suspense.
I was the creator and senior editor of AlienSkin Magazine, a popular online Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror publication. A paying market for writers.
As a publisher, I shared thousands of creepy, fascinating, and interesting stories with readers. I received hundreds of story submissions each month. Writers from all over the world sent me stories. I read every one. Wrote replies to every writer. Offered advice to many. I made the primary dream of writers a reality.
I helped writers get published, and continue to help them.
When AlienSkin Magazine ceased publication in 2010, I focused on my own writing. Through that, I learned about screenwriting. Friends and fellow writers felt many of my stories would make great movies – especially my horror and suspense thrillers.
So I studied the art of screenwriting, and became a screenwriter. I love what I do.
I watch movies and TV dramas. Study them and their scripts. And now I write movies and TV pilots of my own. I still write fiction, primarily flash and short stores.
As a fiction and screenwriter, I write in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror and thrillers. Some of my published flash, short, and micro fiction can still be found online.
