My name is Lindsay Heiman, I'm an LA-based TV Writer, and despite having a last name that rhymes with hymen (noun), I am a children's book author and internationally published. 

Growing up with a last name so close to “hymen” taught me the importance of comedy at a very young age. Slash I’m Jewish, so comedy's in my blood. It's our universal defense mechanism. (Wanna know our other form of defense? Space lasers. And fleeing.)

Growing up in Georgia, I was the neurotic lone Jew of the South. Now, I’m just another neurotic Jew in Hollywood. Is being queer even worth noting anymore? Idk, LA's desensitized me. I was born with Tourette’s Syndrome, where I struggle with keeping my thoughts to myself and not offending people. It mixes well with depression and OCD. Jk. But am I? Meh, my whole generation is depressed. I'm not special. I'm just vocal. And feel strongly about mental health representation in television. I feel strongly about ALL representation in television. Down with the straight white man (except for the allies, we love you). I'm joking. If you're a straight white man reading this, I was totally joking. Now look away.

If you're a woman or POC reading this... I wasn't joking, we strike at dawn.

While I may be just another screenwriter in an LA coffee shop longing to be discovered, I don’t wait for it, I work for it. 

I worked my way up from unpaid intern to paid intern to underpaid talent agency assistant and so forth. I’ve worked on comedy shows like “CONAN” at Warner Bros., “VEEP” at Paramount, “INSECURE” at HBO, and “THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS” at HBO Max. Most recently, I worked as a showrunner's assistant for "THE GIRLS ON THE BUS" and "MORE," both at Max. Currently, I'm a senior contributing writer and lead content ideation specialist for TrooRa Magazine, a digital/print publication focused on spotlighting diverse and creative content from underrepresented communities.

A little about me. I’m a writer to my core, and my core is a mix of ambition and chocolate. I’m a house-cat couch potato with a serious addiction to quality television. Emphasis on the quality. Looking at you, reality television. Nobody wants you.

Back to me. I’m an award-winning writer with a published children’s book I wrote about my dog, Duck, and her identity crisis. Am I projecting my own problems onto my pet? Maybe. But writers are self-subscribing narcissists and you can't convince me otherwise.

Anyway, enjoy the website. My girlfriend insisted I make one; so, here it is. Thanks, Anna!
