Affectionately named "Queen of the Twist," Vanessa Lynn is an Amazon bestselling writer and producer of a unique brand of suspenseful, dramatic, inspirational productions. This Detroit native has been around the arts her entire life. As a youth, her mother, a well-known Detroit music teacher, exposed her to such classics as "Annie" and "The Wiz" that made an indelible impression on the budding writer. Beginning in the early 2000s, Vanessa penned and self- financed several popular stage plays in the metro-Detroit area. Live recordings of "Unequally Yoked," "Affairs" and "Boss Lady," each garnered national distribution (2012-2013) which included space inside over 700 Walmart stores. Her suspenseful thriller "Deranged" toured select U.S. cities as well as Canada. Lending her creative abilities to the national touring show "Church Girl" as a contributing writer, this production was also distributed nationally and aired on the BET and Centric TV networks.
