Caitlin Schneiderhan

Caitlin Schneiderhan is a genre-loving writer on the hit Netflix show Stranger Things. Originally hailing from Silver Spring, Maryland, Caitlin hatched from a cocoon of Terry Pratchett novels when she was 13. She spent her teenage years scribbling stories during class instead of paying attention (you can't prove she wasn't just taking notes). Eventually, she decided to chase that storytelling bug all the way out to sunny Los Angeles, where she spent a few years scribbling scripts at assistant jobs instead of paying attention (you can't prove she wasn't just taking notes). These days, you can find her pitching 80s references in the Stranger Things season 5 writer's room. Her work has placed in a number of screenwriting competitions, and her pilot BREAKFIELD was the winner of the Austin Film Festival's One-Hour Pilot competition. She has been named one of MovieMaker Magazine's 25 Screenwriters to Watch, and has projects in development with multiple production companies around Hollywood. She still has a full shelf of Terry Pratchett paperbacks. She still scribbles stories on the side.
