Heidi Mastrogiovanni is a graduate of Wesleyan University and was chosen as one of ScreenwritingU’s 15 Most Recommended Screenwriters of 2013. The comedy web series she writes and produces, "Verdene and Gleneda," was awarded the Hotspot on the Writers Guild of America’s Hotlist. Heidi is fluent in German and French, though she doesn’t understand why both these languages feel they need more than one definite article.
A dedicated animal welfare advocate, Heidi lives in Los Angeles with her musician husband and their rescued senior dogs. She loves to read, hike, travel, and do a classic spit-take whenever something is really funny.
Heidi's comedic novel, "Lala Pettibone: Standing Room Only," the sequel to "Lala Pettibone’s Act Two" (currently a finalist for Foreword Reviews’ 2017 Indies Book of the Year Awards), continues to explore the themes present in all Heidi’s work… It’s never too late to begin again, and it must be cocktail hour somewhere.
