Phoebe is excited to welcome Shauna Cross as the judge for our first-ever nonfiction contest. Cross is a screenwriter and author, popular with critics and readers alike. Her own experiences in the world of roller derby sport inspired the novel Derby Girl. She later turned the novel into a screenplay for the movie Whip It!, an independent film directed by Drew Barrymore and starring Ellen Page. Cross is currently working on several screenplays for upcoming films.
