Alesia Etinoff is a TV writer based in Los Angeles! She most recently wrote for the Paramount + reboot of THE GAME. She also sold a TV Show to Paramount+ and CBS TV Studios with Trevor Noah as Executive Producer, based on her award-winning series, Avant-Guardians! She currently has both a drama series in development with Sterling K. Brown’s production company, Indian Meadows, and Black Bear Pictures, and a comedy series with Malcolm D. Lee’s BlackMaled Productions and Meralta Films. Alesia is represented by CAA.
In March 2024, Carnegie Mellon University invited Alesia to host a writing workshop with their undergraduate and graduate writing students, where she gave live feedback on their TV pilot scripts. She was also Carnegie Mellon’s guest faculty for the 2024 Alfred P. Sloan Script Competition. In 2018, Alesia partnered with the Emmy’s Television Academy to create their diversity writing intensive, Young Writers to Watch, which she’s expanded the curriculum she designed there for Etinoff Script Notes. Alesia has done coverage for talent agencies, worked for ABC Studios, and has given impressive notes to several high-profile writers.
Alesia earned a Dramaturgy degree from Carnegie Mellon University, where she was trained specifically in how to work with and give notes to writers so they can execute the story they’ve envisioned in the most compelling way.
What sets her aside from others in the script notes industry is her attention to detail, devotion to empowering the writer and the story THEY want to tell, and her passion in psychology. She encourages her clients to intimately get to know their characters’ personalities, triggers, and nuances, and in result those elements of themselves.
