Writing: Writing: Terri has enjoyed her 2024/2025 stint in the writers’ room of Lady Ada’s Secret Society (LASS), creating havoc in the school community as the students spar with their STEM-averse Headmistress Hein (Marble Kids/Blue Ant/YouTube).  She has a few original television pilots in development - including Fantasy Revenge Inc. - Sydney Women's International Film Festival award for Best TV Pilot Screenplay, an honour hot on the heels of 2nd place in NYC's Stareable Festival's Best Original TV Pilot Pitch Competition. She was recently placed on the short list for the Female Eye Film Festival’s Pitch Competition for The Divine Divas (hour-long dramedy). Terri’s academic and activist work has been published a number of times with Demeter Press.
