About This Item
Synopsis
Gemini Award-winner Susin Nielsen got her start feeding cast and crew muffins and bologna sandwiches on the popular television series, Degrassi Junior High . They hated her food (a fact that’s memorialized forever in a poem the cast wrote: “An ode to Susin, the Bran Muffin Queen, we eat them, we die, then we turn green”). Luckily for Susin, they saw a spark in a spec script she wrote. Nielsen went on to pen sixteen episodes of the hit television show, and four of the books in the Degrassi book series. Since then, Nielsen, who has received two Canadian Screenwriter awards, has written and story-edited many TV series, including Ready or Not , Madison , The Adventures of Shirley Holmes , Edgemont , and two animated series, W hat About Mimi and Braceface . She co-created the pre-school series Franny’s Feet , and is the co-creator and showrunner of the critically acclaimed series Robson Arms . She also adapted author Susan Juby’s book, Alice, I Thin k, into a TV series. Nielsen has also published three children’s books: Hank and Fergus , winner of the Mr. Christie’s Silver Medal Award, Mormor Moves In , and The Magic Beads . She lives in Vancouver with her husband, Goran, son, Oskar, and cat, Sam.
