Barbara J. Ross Award Winning Screen Writer | Novelist | Story Development
Barbara Ross is a masterful storyteller whose narratives are an intricate tapestry of suspense, thrillers with a little "magic" sometimes, but always a high-octane adventure. Her unique storytelling prowess is highlighted by her skillful integration of historical events into contemporary tales.
Her commitment to elevating women's stories was celebrated at the Austin Film Festival, where Ross claimed the Best Writer and People's Choice accolades for "#WHATNEXT." A brainchild of Bash Productions featuring Marietta Melrose.
In that same vein, Ross was lauded at The International Writers Seminar, where her riveting screenplay "Miss Millennial" won major awards. The script peeled back the veneer of social media's glittering image to reveal a dark undercurrent, solidifying her reputation for subverting expectations with her narrative twists.
Ross' prowess has not gone unnoticed in literary circles either. Her most recent venture, the spy thriller, Pythos has secured representation with Judith A. Moose at Midwest Literary and Talent, signaling her rising prominence in the field.
An ambitious creator with an impressive academic foundation, Ross holds a Bachelor's degree in Technology and has honed her craft through prestigious programs such as the UCLA Writers Extension Program, along with mentorship from industry luminaries including Pilar Alessandra of Sony, storied story-structure expert Robert McKee, and the esteemed playwright, novelist, produced screenwriter, and former USC professor, Donald Freed.
