FOUNDING AUTHOR - SCOTTIE JEANETTE MADDEN

Author, Writer, Director, Showrunner

Scottie Jeanette, born Scott James, didn’t make it easy on herself. Like many late-stage trans women, Scottie had made one helluva guy. Everything in her life screamed "Alpha Male." With over 30 years in television production, no one knew that Scottie, a top survival showrunner who had lead über-male productions into the world’s most dangerous spots, was engaged in a lifelong battle for her soul. Scottie rose through the ranks of production and brings a front line experience to her work as writer, director and showrunner. She put ALL this, plus a marriage of 26 years, on the line when she wrote “Getting Back To Me” from girl to boy to woman in just fifty years. She left behind “white male privilege” to embrace truth, grace and womanhood. Her gut-wrenching journey of love, acceptance and honesty is all captured in her book. It's the ultimate survival show as Scottie dismantles the walls of a self-imposed prison, charting the way back from denial to acceptance, from fear to courage to be herself. Scottie has created and written children's television (Pug & Zero's Field Trip) Feature Film ("the kiss") gameshows, ("Do you trust me?" "Duel," "On the Cover," and "Last to Survive") primetime ("Blood of Queens,"The Other Woman," "Out of the Wild," "Dude, You're Screwed") and award winning screenplays.
