LAUREN CONOSCENTI

WRITER | LOS ANGELES

Swords! Spaceships! Superpowers! Lauren Conoscenti writes propulsive popcorn genre dramas, nudging reluctant outsiders into found families through an optimistic lens. Big action. Bigger heart.

Raised in Amish Country, TV was Conoscenti’s window to the world. A student of first-run syndication, she learned structure—and her love of genre fare—by watching swashbuckling action/adventure shows on repeat. From gargoyles to immortal bounty hunters, Conoscenti uses otherworldly characters to tell four-quadrant stories that encourage, devastate, and inspire.

Conoscenti recently served as Showrunners’ Assistant on Season 2 of Fox’s critically-acclaimed FANTASY ISLAND reboot and as Writers’ PA on USA’s DARE ME, The CW’s JANE THE VIRGIN, and Fox’s LETHAL WEAPON. Prior to writers’ rooms in Los Angeles, she managed commercial crews and post teams in NYC; Conoscenti thrives on set and is known for her eagle eye in the edit. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Her work has received industry commendation, notably as the Runner Up in Roadmap Writers’ JumpStart Competition, as a Second Rounder in the Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop and Austin Film Festival, and as seen on The Bitch List, The Stunt List, The Red List, and The Women’s List (featured in The Hollywood Reporter).

Beyond the industry, Conoscenti has worked in professional kitchens and enjoys culinary adventures with friends.
