Lynn Isenberg is an accomplished WGA award winning screenwriter-producer for film/television, novels, and non-fiction. The art of imagination launched her on a creative path when in third grade, her story KING C was selected for Oakland University’s Young Authors Conference. From there, she propelled herself to LA to write and produce Hollywood mainstream content where she started at CAA, then the studio system, and later racked up credits on MGM’s Youngblood, Tri-Star Picture’s I Love You to Death, Mistral Pictures’ dance drama True Vinyl, Showtime’s Bordello, Fox’s Ally McBeal, the First Internet Film & Music Festival (IFMF) which she architected into the Sundance Online Film Festival.  From there she has written four entrepreneurial comedy novels: My Life Uncovered,  The Funeral Planner, The Funeral Planner Goes to the White House, The Funeral Planner Goes Global.  Her TFP comedy novel received front page publicity in the New York Times landing her guest appearances on NBC, CBS, NPR, and a Celebrity Partnership with 1800Flowers. The Funeral Planner has over one million online reads. Her non-fiction works include the critically acclaimed Fine Living Network’s I::Design TV series, and critically acclaimed book Author Power: Profit Before You Publish in which she maps out how to generate six figures by repurposing your IP with curated content-branding.  She is currently completing an Informational Video titled PROJECT ST. CLAIR about the transformation of a stunning historic 1901 schoolhouse into a modern luxury apartment community with schoolhouse aesthetics in Grosse Pte, MI. The featurette highlights the importance and value of “adaptive repurpose”—which she believes is a metaphor for everyone’s journey in life.  And finally, her rom-com novels are heating up as an international co-pro, because, well, The Funeral Planner never dies... stay tuned!
