We had the good fortune of connecting with Denora M. Boone and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Denora M., why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I decided to pursue a creative career because it was a form of escape from reality for me in the beginning. Once I started sharing my creativity with others and saw how my stories would help them to cope, I knew that was the career that I wanted to continue working in.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from other screenwriters would be that I’m not trying to fit in. Often times I find others are almost bullied into writing what others want instead of staying true to themselves. I write what I want and how I want and I won’t ever change that. I think by starting my career as an author, I was able to allow all of the negative critiques to thicken my skin so they don’t bother me anymore. A lot of screenwriters come into this field never have written a story before so the reviews can be harsh. I’m to a point in my life that I am able to choose the constructive criticism to make me better and let the negative fall to the wayside.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m seriously a homebody, but I love date nights with my husband at Suite Lounge or going with my family to Krab Queenz ATL.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shout out, Naz Pankey, Courtney Arlett, and Asia Hester. These women have been so instrumental in my life and success. They have been the true definition of “my sister’s keeper” and deserve to be recognized in the Atlanta area as well.
