Paula Boock

Paula Boock — who runs production company Lippy Pictures with Donna Malane — has won awards both for her scripts and her novels for young adults. Boock’s screenwriting resume includes The Strip, innovative drama The Insiders Guide to Happiness, plus award-winning tele-movies Bloodlines and Until Proven Innocent.

I’ve always been affected by books. As the youngest in a large, boisterous family, I developed early the ability to work — write even — amidst a racket.
