Full Bio
Caribbean-born and New York City bred, Janete Scobie is a novelist and screenwriter of character-driven dramas, powerful heroines, underrepresented voices, flawed motley crews and underdogs. Builder of worlds that explore different shades of humanity, raw and ugly truths, and the beauty in all of us.
A Francophile at heart, Janete traveled to Paris, France after college where she spent nearly a decade. Committed to developing the storyteller within, her travels eventually led her back to New York where opportunities in the publishing industry provided an ideal environment to nurture her writing. Janete is the author of the novel The Seeds of Green Mangoes and gift book 500 Kisses. Passionate about storytelling and a member of NYWIFT (where she leads the Career Focus Group), Janete writes fiction and non-fiction, TV pilots (drama/dramedy), and is developing her first feature film based on her novel.
