Kim Shumway - Kim Shumway
Kim has worked all over the entertainment industry, from reality networks to film companies, from the agency world to the production world. She is especially interested in writing about the business side of Hollywood, determined to marry her corporate finance training with her entertainment training.
Her primary love is television, even as she despairs of network TV's failings. She loves writing drama pilots, strong creative vision, and sci-fi (but no, she won't be watching Caprica).
