Terri Alkire is an award-winning screenwriter who creates uplifting holiday romantic comedies that leave audiences smiling and reminds them that it’s never too late for love, laughter, and a new chapter. Her work has earned recognition as a Winner, Top Ten Finalist, Finalist, Semi-Finalist, and Quarter-Finalist in multiple Holiday/Family screenplay competitions. She studied screenwriting at UCLA and continues to refine her craft through mentorships with Hallmark, Lifetime, and Netflix writers, as well as retreats and seminars focused on developing Christmas and romantic comedy features. Trained in both three-act and nine-act structure, she brings a strong foundation to her storytelling. Terri writes from my Los Angeles home alongside my dog Monet, who takes his role of guarding against leaf blowers and Amazon deliveries very seriously. Terri would welcome the opportunity to collaborate in bringing her heartfelt holiday romances to the screen.
