Vanessa Jones
I’m an award-winning writer and emerging screenwriter based in Adelaide, South Australia, with my own copywriting and marketing business.
My feature screenplay, Glass Music, was runner-up in the international Script Pipeline Pitch Contest in 2022, and in 2021 I was shortlisted for Mercury CX’s Hothouse Screenwriting Residency. My work has also been developed through mentorship with producers associated with Fight Club and The Babadook as well as acclaimed Australian author Kathryn Heyman.
I hold an Advanced Diploma of Professional Writing and previously worked as Marketing Manager for the SA Writers Centre, where I also served as a Youth Ambassador.
My earlier writing honours include a commendation in the Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards writing category, winning the National Year of Reading short story competition, an Outstanding Achievement in Writing Poetry award from TAFE SA, and a commendation in the Melbourne Poets Union International Poetry Competition.
I have also worked editorially as joint editor of Dubnium, a South Australian literary journal, and the Australian Poetry Association Anthology Metabolism.
