About Cecilia

I'm a freelance writer currently based in Torino, Italy. After studying scenography, I now spend all my time writing about personal doubt, difference of opinions, morals and ideologies. My short comedies and my screenplay "The Ambiguous Couch Affair" have won or been read at various international festivals and competitions. However, I have yet to find a place where my ideas may become more than pages, which is why I'm here, so feel free to contact me if you wanna talk about/work on interesting stories.
Even though as a teen I thought I would mainly write emotional dramas, I particularly enjoy black and observational comedy, nonsense and anti-humor. I'm skeptical, atheist, non-violent, patient, assertive and I have a logical attitude.
