Finalist, The Coletta Preacely-Garcia Diversity Fellowship 2024
BIO
CARRINGTON WALSH is a genre writer from Los Angeles, CA, but based in Paris, France. Carrington collected a myriad of stories from a short stint as a saleswoman for a cultish German tech startup and even more eclectic tales from a longer stint as the Deputy Chief of Staff for the Democratic party in Washington, DC. A Harvard graduate, Carrington has a particular love for telling sci-fi and fantasy young adult stories that feature ensemble casts of BIPOC characters in settings that haven’t traditionally included Black women. She became a finalist in Harvardwood’s TV Writer’s Competition, a semifinalist for Roadmap Writers’ Diversity Fellowship, a quarterfinalist for WeScreenplay’s Diverse Voices Lab, and a quarterfinalist for the Moonshot Pilot Accelerator. In her spare time, Carrington unwinds by baking more cookies than she could ever consume by herself.
