About Ingrid
Based in a small city at the edge of the world (next stop Antarctica... and yes, we do have penguins) I’ve been writing all my life. Letters to friends overseas after returning from a year as an exchange student to Finland, travel journals, commercial copywriting, speeches, short stories and essays, novels and screenplays make up an eclectic mix of material.
Despite becoming a corporate worker bee, I kept up the creative and performance side of my life by participating in multiple sports, public speaking, politics (briefly…to this day I’m grateful I was not elected), and international competition ballroom dancing. I’ve been involved in local theatre productions, acting and choreographing, doing publicity and making costumes. I’ve choreographed and performed in ballroom dancing floorshows and appeared on Strictly Dancing with ABC TV Australia.
My screenplay "Star Dancer" is finished, my pitch is ready, and I'm looking for people who can see the possibilities in blending science fiction with ballroom dancing and original music to bring this unique adventure to the screen. It's the kind of story you'd walk away from with a smile.
The third part of my trilogy set in the Star Dancer universe is done and I'm working to refine and elevate the story.
Random writing success: In October 2024 my short story "The Visit of the Vocabulum" was shortlisted for the Sisters in Crime Australia Scarlet Stiletto Awards. I have been shortlisted twice with my essays for the New Philosopher magazine Writer’s Award for philosophical writing.
Unique traits: Sci-fi nut from an early age, futurist, strategist, left field thinker, internationalist.
