WRITING
CindyYantis
Cindy is an accomplished writer, having won her first competition at the age of ten. Although currently living in Los
Angeles, Cindy hails from Michigan. She brings an innate Middle America sensibility to her writing. She has studied at
the UCLA Screenwriters’ Program, has a BAA from Central Michigan University in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, with
an emphasis in journalism and currently coaches with screenwriting guru Pilar Alessandra.
Since childhood, writing has been her most natural form of communication. She’s written short stories, two novels, and
four screenplays, three of which have been recognized in the Nicholl Fellowship screenwriting competition, sponsored
by the Academy of Motion Pictures. And, Cashmere Glove: The Feminine Approach to Business™, co-authored with
Sara Harrell, is the perfect marriage between her business career, her involvement with women’s causes, and her gift
for writing.
