janeespenson_300Jane Espenson started off her writing career by writing a spec script for M*A*S*H, and never sending it. Since then, she’s been a writer and/or producer for almost every popular scifi/geek show out there. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse, Caprica, Warehouse 13 and more.

She’s writing the next season of Torchwood for Starz and has just been named Consulting Producer on the new show, Once Upon A Timeread more.
